Backup errors

[Spencer454]

Hello, i have been using proxmox ve for sometime now for my own use but i am still new to using it. I know my way around the web panel but not so much for other things. So for the past few months i always run automated backups every 6 hours on both the local and NFS/FTP backup server. So when i try and run a backup on any of the server i always get this error (Been getting this error for the past week).

Task viewer: Backup
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 102 --node ns3012645 --storage local --compress gzip --remove 0 --mode suspend

INFO: Backup job finished with errors
TASK ERROR: job errors

I have got everything updated and also have more then enough disk space left. So as i have read it says its creating a copy on the /tmp/ directory so i check the space of that and it says its size is 20GB. Do i have to manually change the amount of disk space this directory has or does proxmox take care of this?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 20G 3.3G 15G 18% /

As i have already said i am still new to using Proxmox but i love how this works. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Spencer.

Hi,

here is your answer: "No space left on device"

INFO: rsync: write failed on "/tmp/vzdumptmp9934/home/rust/serverfiles/backup/2/rust-server/storage/830606/0/1416890717": No space left on device (28)

you have to put it to another storage or give it more disk space
look at the mount point of /tmp this normaly is the root partition...
I hope it helps

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into it now
But there is more than enough space. Like you say i'll have to change what its mounted on.

Is there any way to resize the root partition without harming anything? as there is only 20GB assigned to it.

At first I would try an more easy way,
go to the proxmox GUI an build a new storge there where you have enough space, then take this one as storage target for the vzdump command
If it helps I give you a screenshot:

Wow, never thought of doing that.

Thanks.
