Package: backupninja Version: 0.9.7-5.1 Severity: important Duplicity uses an archive dir, which tends to occupy a lot of space, set by default to ~/.cache/duplicity, which in the case of the dup handler run by backupninja, will lead to /root/.cache/duplicity.
As exhibited by #572523 it may fill up the / partition quite easily at the moment due to some bugs in the way duplicity behaves. Still, when this is fixed, for backups of big partitions, or long incremental backup suites, this cache will occupy a big share of the / partition. I believe this is not the expected behaviour from a backup daemon tool. This cache should go to /var/cache (or user backup's home ?), IMHO. I strongly suggest to run duplicity with --archive-dir in the duplicity handler, then. Hope this helps.
