How to change temp dir when using auto-backups ?
So i set automated backups in Proxmox. And by default Proxmox first dumps all in a temp: /var/tmp

I know how to change this for manualy backup a VM.
But Proxmox use the /var/tmp
for auto backups and this drive is to small in my case. So i get errors. Big backups fails..

I would like to change this to --> var/lib/vz/backup (More space here) other mounted drive. Gues just a small change in a script... :rolleyes:
