Backup VSX

FabioLima1 — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 14:53:13 GMT

Hi guys, I need some help.
I'm backing up to an ftp server, on the vsx gateway it says I don't have enough space in /var/log/Cpbackup/backups.

FW001-A:0> show backup status
local backup has failed.
cat: /proc/smt_status: No such file or directory

Cannot complete the backup process: not enough space in /var/log/CPbackup/backups .

Backup operation failed.

/dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_log 186G 149G 28G 85% /var/log

Space is required to generate the backup before sending it to the remote server.

Are you able to delete an old backup(s)?

Hi @FabioLima1

Can you please check what the size of the backup is? And how much memory is left in var/log partition?

I solved it by purging old files in /var/log.
