deja dup uses too much tmp memory

[Jim Caughran]

It looks like deja dup creates its backup in tmp, then writes it to the backup drive. The folder is quite large. This creates several problems, such as filling up tmp. Moreover, DD does not delete when finished.

I recently moved tmp to RAM memory; I'm now using another backup program because of this problem.

The backup drive is probably the appropriate location for these files.
