 * I’ve not been able to get Xcloner to work on a particular site. It has the error,
   under System Check, “Temporary Location: /tmp/.xcloner-2587a”
 * I am not sure where that folder is located, or what the issue with it is. Nothing
   is explained.
 * Please advise.
 * Thank you very much,
 * Jonathan

 * I’ve since found it is the (root)/tmp folder. There are hundreds of `.xcloner-
   ff**` files in there.
 * Yet still the error doesn’t tell me what the issue is.

 * In XCloner Settings->System Tab , please enable this option “Force Temporary 
   Path Within XCloner Storage”
 * As for the XCloner .xcloner-ff** folders, you need to setup a scheduled backup,
   that has a trigger to cleanup temporary folders older than 24 hours

 * Thanks Liuta,
 * I implemented your path suggestion, and that worked.

 * I am not seeing where the option is for this suggestion though. When I set up
   a scheduled backup, I don’t see any settings related to cleaning up temp folders.
   Please advise.
 * Thanks,

 * The option is automatically added in the scheduled backup process, no need to
   activate anything else
