I assume the backup of the 84GB used home partition By default all mounted "normal" local filesystems are included To only backup the system partition either use Alternatively when you use the current ReaR GitHub code See the description of those variables in the current default.conf ReaR calls 'tar' with the options '--one-file-system' and '--anchored' tar --warning=no-xdev --sparse --block-number --totals --verbose --no-wildcards-match-slash --one-file-system --ignore-failed-read --anchored --gzip -X /tmp/rear.s0ZaD9wlm6SlToD/tmp/backup-exclude.txt -C / -c -f - / /root/rear/var/log/rear/rear-e205.log On my test system '/' is the only mounted "normal" local filesystem: # mount | grep sda /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) |
Thank you very much gdha and jsmeix for your assistance. I'm yet to find a chance to implement your suggestions and test but will let you know when I do. |
I assume at least for now this issue is sufficiently answered |

Brief description of the issue: When running sudo usr/sbin/rear -v mkbackup an archive is created to the size of the free space of the system partition (on which the /tmp directory is). The process then fails with the following messages in the log:
mkdir: cannot create directory '/tmp/rear.0DSlFdKHTlVFu9K/tmp/boot': No space left on device
2017-01-01 11:18:11 ERROR: Could not mkdir /tmp/rear.0DSlFdKHTlVFu9K/tmp/boot
The harddrive I'm trying to back up is 320GB that is partitioned as:
- 267GB Mounted at /home (84GB used)
- 20GB Mounted at /usr/local (nearly totally empty)
- 3.1GB Swap
I'm really only needing to the rescue disk to backup the system partition and I suppose the 20GB partition to an external 4TB usb hdd. (The files in the home partition are backed up separately.) Any ideas how I can achieve this?
Attached is the REAR log.
