Backup failed - No space left on device

[tukane]

Hi all,

since a few days my backup job is failing.

ERROR: rsync: [receiver] write failed on "/var/tmp/vzdumptmp2094692_102/var/lib/docker/containers/8bb2ef4ed71fc6d6e114de76491a145d917d3369c422f4f97d549d52aac22057/8bb2ef4ed71fc6d6e114de76491a145d917d3369c422f4f97d549d52aac22057-json.log": No space left on device (28)
ERROR: rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(381) [receiver=3.2.7]
ERROR: rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32)

The backups should be stored on my NAS.
From the error message above I assume that the backup file is stored in a temp directory and copied from there to the NAS, right?

I'm running 1 container (64G) and 1 VM (64G). Proxmox is running on a 256G SSD, so when my assumption with the tmp-file is right, the disk size is not sufficient.

I've another HDD (sdb) in my proxmox server which has more capacity.


On this HDD is the volume of the container stored.


Is there a way to use this HDD for the tmp-files of the backups? If yes, what do I have to consider? Do I need another partition? What about the CT Volume?

Thanks

Create a directory storage on that sdb drive & then set a tmpdir for vzdump on that location path.
I see you have LVM on that drive already. So AFAIK you will need to create a new LV to be able to accomplish this.

See my post here which references the docs on this. With a NAS as the target, you should probably anyway have had this.
