It's possible to control the temp directory by setting the environment variables TMPDIR, TEMP, or TMP as documented in the Python tempfile pages (as linked to from the rdiff-backup FAQ): http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.1/lib/module-tempfile.html
However, the next version of rdiff-backup, 1.1.13, will feature two new options, --tempdir and --remote-tempdir to explicitly set the temporary directory on either the local or remote end. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
