Backup/Drive Full Problem

[thomamon]

OK, my issue has been going on for two weeks, and I'm thinking perhaps it is related to backups. I'm really pulling my hair out here trying to figure out what is going on, because I am no closer then I was two weeks ago at figuring this out.

Everyday I have to fix my quota.user because the file is filling up my sda3 /var drive. I am always getting e-mails stating:

Drive Critical: /dev/sda3 (/var) is 91% full

So I fix the quota.user by running "> quota.user" and the server starts to work normal again, until the process starts all over again.

But since this has started happening, I am no longer receiving my backup is complete e-mails on a nightly basis. Could this all be related? I have my backups scheduled in WHM, they go to my secondary hard drive which is set to /backup, I believe SDB1.

Nobody has given me any clue on which way to turn and I am really desperate at getting this fixed once and for all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please try and help???

I am beyond frustrated with all of this. It just happened again.
