Hi,

somehow the backup directory was placed mistakenly on the local system partion (/) of my system (which I didn't have realized).
Few days later this partition runs out of memory during backup.

The results were:
No email about failed or successfull backup - which is quite clear, the postfix couldn't even breath anymore.

Empty *.conf (zero sized) files of a few still running systems in /etc/qemu-server.
Instead of the original names just the VMXXX was displayed.

Of course, system partition should never be full. But also a conf file should never be destroyed thrue a failing process.

I'm using pve-manager/1.5/4728 on Linux 2.6.32-2-pve #1 SMP

kind regards
Robert
