Yes, but I'd like to know if there's a way to change the local file location without this happening. Or do I just need to manually move going forward?

When you changed the local backups location in the GUI, you still have/had backup files located in /usr/local/nagios/var/backups and they (the backups from that location are going to be included going forward in your new location (outside of the /usr/local/nagios* directories).

If you wish, you can move the inflated backups back into the directory that you now store your local backups.

Code: Select all

mv -v /usr/local/nagios/var/backups/* /store/backups/nagiosxi/
(the originally suggestion I had was to just remove the bad backups).

Confusing, I had another forum thread yesterday that was related to changing the local backup settings:
