  Hi :), You can change the Backup directory to /home/backup. Please refer below docs for Backup directory configuration:

  Hello, If you do change the backup location to /home/backup and you have quota support enabled on /home then backups will be degraded. The next time /scripts/fixquotas is run, it will disable quota support on the /home partition/directory because it will detect that the backup directory is located on that partition. Just a gotcha that many users forget about. Quotas will be disabled if fixquotas detects that the BACKUPDIR is set to a location that has Quotas currently enabled.

  Multiple threads merged here. No need for a new one. This thread may be of some use: How To Increase size of /var/tmp and /tmp? - cPanel Forums - i already tried this too, to try empty /tmp folder before..
  You should avoid running commands, as root, on your server if you're unsure of what you're doing. This, rm -rf, run incorrectly in the wrong location, can wipe you out. You might want to look into hiring a professional system administrator to assist you.

  is there anything i can check or try by my self for now?
  Yes, that link I posted for you should be useful. here are result from intodns.com that have blue & yellow warning, how is it guys :
  You can most likely ignore those. They have nothing to do with your securetmp issue. If you see anything in red, what do they say?
