It will be greate to customise tmp directory instead of use /tmp

On some provider, we are not able to write in the tmp directory.

Thanks

You're kidding. o.o

Okay, I'll put that on my TODO list for you.

Yes, you can't rely on the hardcoded /tmp path. Plus problems for FAT/Win32 installs.

The /tmp directory to use should be configured through Drupal configuration > filesystem

Better to go: backup_lib.php

	//
	// Now tar up the contents of this directory
	//
	$backup_tmp = tempnam(file_directory_temp() , "backup-htdocs-");

Three changes are needed to make the backup.module respect Drupal's temporary directory settings (I think only three...):

In the file - functions.inc.php make the following changes:

line 31:
$db_file_tmp = tempnam(file_directory_temp(), "drupal-backup-db-");

line 146:
if ($file == $prefix_dir || $file == file_directory_temp()) {

line 227:
$backup_tmp = tempnam(file_directory_temp(), "backup-htdocs-");

These changes finally got backup.module working for me.

Cheers,
