How do I remove all of the files that are located in /home/backup/? I'm not sure if this is a bug in the software or something that I should have been aware of it either way it is cause my Web server to completely go off line.

I would like to know how do I remove all the files that are located in /home/backup/ via SSH. I have searched on the forums And I'm not able to find any way that I can remove these files.

AFN,
there is something serious that you need to find out on your server.

Check and post :

Code: Select all

/var/log/vesta/backup.log

what is result of

Code: Select all

df -h

If the Backups are filling up space... you can goto crons section in VestaCP and Suspend this cron for some time

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-backup-users

If Webserver ( I presume Apache) is going off, probably you are running out of memory due to a process (mostly mySQL) or other load. It doesn't usually happen because of space problems.

Please post your server specifications and OS

As requested I am posting an update and unfortunately soon after posting this question my VPS server wouldn't start so therefore I had no choice other than to completely start over so I wasn't able to try anything posted in this thread.

I want to thank everyone for trying to help me and I hope that this question along with the answers that you all provided will also help someone else.
