Hi,

Error Compressing the backup file /home/tmp/admin/admin/backup/home.tar.gz :

df -h

Hello,

What you see with

Code: 
df -i
?


/boot has nothing to do with the issue.

probably problem is caused by the mounted disk /dev/vdb
in my backup i don't need this
can i exclude it?
 
You can exclude it if you need it, but from what you've told us there's no way to know if the server is trying to back this up or not.

If indeed it is included in the backup, then yes, it's probably too large, since it's 407 GB in size and there's only 126 GB of space left in /, where the /home/tmp directory is probably located.

If not the problem may be that you've run out of space for inodes. This could occur if you've got lots of small files.

Thanks for the reply.
How can i exclude /dev/vdb?
 
Is vdb a DirectAdmin usrename? If so, simply exclude it from the backup when setting it up, or edit your current backup to exclude it.

If it's not a standard DirectAdmin user, then it would depend on how you linked to it as normally it wouldn't then be backed up by Admin level backup.

Which admin backup are you using? (There are wo.)

vdb is an external disk that is mounted to admin under public_html
Therefore it's not needed in the backup

im using Admin Backup/Transfer
i dont see a setting for excluding this disk

same with system backup

thanks for the help
