OS space issue

[kmsgli]

Hey is there anyway to have Andriller use a different folder then /tmp it seems to be running out of space since /tmp is using ram not hdd space here is the error i get after the backup is taken and the extraction starts.

    return func(*args, **kwargs)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, if you are running from the source code, change the following value from to_tmp=True to to_tmp=False on this line.

Hey thanks for your tip. It did not error out right away upon extracting like usual but some time later it gave this to me;

Was the backup even complete? I would suggest to try extracting again. Try opening the tar in some archive manager to see if it is healthy.

Same issue trying to extract again, and it appears to be healthy as archive manager shows me the data inside when i open it.

The flag for using temp dir has been removed for these extractions in version 3.6.2
