VZDump Issues

[PogiWeb]

I'm not sure exactly where to begin but i've been having some issues for awhile now. Half of my containers i'm able to backup but the rest i'm getting the following errors.

Example:

Command: vzdump --compress --stdexcludes --suspend 101 --mailto MYEMAILADDRESS

I have also tried to increase and decrease the bwlimit without any success.

"No space left on device" - isn´t this a good hint?

check your backup target!

Use option '--tmpdir' to specify a location with enough free space (/var/tmp seem to be to small).

(see 'man vzdump' for details)
