backup_tmp


I am getting these *huge* folders in my /tmp folder, called backup_tmp_*, periodically. This frequently causes my system to run out of space. They seem to appear mornings at 5:20 am, but not every morning. Inside, it seems to deposit a copy of almost every package I have on my system, but it also includes an enormous file called NOPACKAGE.

Any ideas as to what's causing this, and how to stop it?


Thanks,
-David

It looks like SuSE is performing some form of automated backup routine: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/tru...ification.html
