Virtualmin - Backup

Requires separate Webmin backup!

Backups require free space in /tmp
Estimate the amount of temporary space needed by the size of your largest Virtual Server
Choices for disk space:
- Make sure the installation partition with the root filesystem has sufficient space
- Extend the installation partition and root filesystem
- Change the temporary folder used to one with more space
- Add an additional disk/partition and mount it on /tmp
  - chmod 1777 /tmp
Scheduled backup jobs can cause disruptions of hosted services
- Prioritize CPU utilization of scheduled jobs (nice level)
- Prioritize IO utilization of scheduled jobs (ionice level)
