Virtualmin - Backup

See also Webmin 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)
