/backup filling up with tmp files
Hi,
My backup folder is /backup
Over the last few days, it's been filling up with tmp files, until /var/root becomes 100% full, and then all kinds of crap happens. Every time I empty it, it refills in a few hours.
Here's a directory listing:
I've stopped the backup-users cron job, but this is still happening.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
MM

Re: /backup filling up with tmp files
Update:
It appears to be an errant cron job:
sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-sys-queue backup
Pausing this has stopped the tmp files filling up the /backup folder. However, I have no idea why this is. Can anyone offer any help? What's gone wrong and how to I fix it?
Cheers.

Re: /backup filling up with tmp files
Thanks for this.
I added that line to the v-backup-user, and then ran v-backup-users (which I assume calls v-backup-user) and attempted to create a backup, but I only got another tmp file in my /backup directory.
What on earth has happened?

Re: /backup filling up with tmp files
In case it helps, I just found this too.
I looked in /var/log/vesta/backup.log and it seemed that there was an error in there saying
Error: can't parse file /home/user/web/conf/nginx.conf
I rebuilt the web config with v-rebuild-webdomains user
I'll see if that fixes it tomorrow.

Re: /backup filling up with tmp files
We should make the /tmp directory a configuration parameter in the UI.
My / drive is small so /tmp was filling up.
so i modified v-backup-user to have the /tmp be /var/tmp.
but having this as a config would be better.
