[Duplicity-talk] How to prevent .cache from filling up root partition?

[Scott Classen]

Hello,

I'm having problems getting duply to perform the initial full backup to Amazon 
S3

My source directory is ~4TB

These are the versions of everything I'm running:

duply version 1.10.1
Using installed duplicity version 0.7.05, python 2.6.6, gpg 2.0.14 (Home: 
~/.gnupg), awk 'GNU Awk 3.1.7', grep 'grep (GNU grep) 2.20', bash 
'4.1.2(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)'.


I think the main problem is that duply/duplicity is writing a ton of stuff to 
.cache which is filling up the root partition and crashing the computer. I've 
set TEMP_DIR=/home-old/duplicity which has a large partition (~2TB available 
space) that I can use for temporary files. Is there any way to get .cache to 
use TEMP_DIR?


Here is the --preview output:
