By default, Vertica backups place logs and a few other small files in /tmp/vbr. And /tmp/vbr_rsynchd
When you configure your backups using vbr.py --setupconfig, it creates an ini file (my_backup.ini by default).
Locate this file and add
tempDir = /somedirectory/vbr (make sure the folder exists)
under the [Misc] section
E.G.
Default:
[Misc]
snapshotName = snapshot
restorePointLimit = 7
… other options …
E.g.:
[Misc]
snapshotName = snapshot
restorePointLimit = 7
… other options …
tempDir = /vertica_backups/logs
Do not edit the vbr.py, as future upgrades to CAPM will overwrite it.
