hi.
i have a server via 100 GB space.
one user has 80 GB file and I want take backup this user.

so I have a backup Server via 500 GB space.

but my problem is when take bakup. directadmin compress all 80 GB files and save in tmp directory in my server.

so my server not have enough space for saving compress file... and backup has error or not complected...
directAdmin give this error:
"Error Compressing the backup file user.admin.cdnbayan.tar.gz :
gzip: stdout: No space left on device "

how can take bakup part of part my files for example take 4 file 20GB and upload each file on my backup server???

exclude /datadir from backup, then backup this large directories separately or by rsync

In such case you must backup it manually, or extend VPS disk space.
Or backup large static directory manually once, then exclude them from backup:

Exclude folder when creating user backup

Hello! We need exclude some folder in user home directory when creating user backup, like jailed folders. Possible it will be property in directadmin.conf file, like backup_exclude_home_dirs=somedir1;somedir2
