I got a Linux server, and like many Linux servers, my
/tmp is in a partition. Mine is 1 gigabyte, more than
enough for most operations.

I would say "all" operations, but alas, virtualmin
backup and restore really gives the works to my /tmp.

I had to unmount my /tmp drive and create a temporary
folder in order to be able to restore my previously
crashed server (that incidentally did not have a tmp
partition)

Now, in order to make scheduled backups, I have to cut
down to the bare essentials because /tmp is constantly
full while virtualmin using it.

I usually do not mind /tmp, most of the actions are
meant to be there, but there doesn't seem to be a way
to move this some place else, making me unable to use
virutalmin's bundled backups.
