		+	Check your disk space, chances are during a reboot it did not mount the backup drive for VOD2, which is networked. If a network mount is not ready in time for the backup rsnapshot job, then it will default create the folder under <code>/media/vod2bak</code> regardless of successful mount. Thus filling the primary OS drive with VOD2 backup data.
