Still working on trying to get a backup

I decided to test in another instance that had work done it by and end user but is not live.

Running ruby /jumpbox/application_portal/privileged_scripts/ubuntu/app.rb run_backup_real /var/data/backup/test.tgz

results in a no space left on device error message. The df command shows 70% for /dev/sda1 used so it should have room. All other file systems are less than 3% used.

At least we have error messages to work from. Any suggestions on what I should try?
