Is it possible to change the location the temporary files for LXC containers being backed up are stored?

I'm backing up to a CIFS share but running out of space during one of the dumps, the Proxmox drive is only a 40GB SSD so doesn't have much space.

There's a larger 500GB ssd which the VM's/Containers root FS sits on and has over 200GB free is it possible to use this for the tmp files during backup instead?

Edit:

I symlinked /var/tmp to a /tmp folder on the 2nd drive, it seems to be working thus far.
