sysbk free disk space limit?

[klaver]

When running the sysbk tool it complains about insufficient disk space. This is a virtual linux setup with a 4 GB disk limit. Can someone tell me how much free disk space does sysbk need to run?


server:~# /usr/local/sysbk/sysbk -s

If you check, you'll see that by default sysbk (the DirectAdmin system backup) checks for a very small amount of space; you can safely raise that.

However, to work sysbk needs at least as much free space in the backup directory (usuallly /home/backup) as the largest site on the server.
