Hi I can't seem to get a full backup of my Virtualmin working. Here are the errors it gives me:
Creating TAR file of home directory .. .. TAR failed!
cat: write error: No space left on device /bin/tar: -: Wrote only 2048 of 10240 bytes /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Failed to open /var/tmp/418848_11636_9_backup.cgi/0 for writing : No such file or directory at /usr/share/webmin/web-lib-funcs.pl line 1397.
Thanks for any help with this.
Hi I think I've now fixed this. Didn't realise my /var/tmp was ALSO on a different partition as well as just my /tmp folder!!
So I've now set my temp folder for webmin to /home/tmp - my fault for thinking I was being clever partitioning up everything!!
Howdy,
I'm glad it's working now!
That being in a different partition should, in theory, not be a problem... I was initially wondering if something were clearing it out on occasion.
I'm otherwise not too sure -- hopefully you've got it working though, but if not just post a note here and hopefully we'll sort it out.
