QRadar: Unable to complete a nightly configuration backup with NFS

Troubleshooting


Problem

Backups fail as a result of insufficient space with a "Partition containing directory: '/nfs' above warning threshold, disallowing backup" error in logs and a "Disk Sentry: Disk Usage exceeded warning threshold" warning in the dashboard.

Symptom

Dashboard notifications report a "Disk Sentry: Disk Usage exceeded warning threshold" warning. Errors similar to the following appear in /var/log/qradar.error:
[hostcontext.hostcontext] [Scheduled Backup] com.q1labs.hostcontext.backup.BackupRecoveryEngine:
