Dear all I was wondering is there a best practice or conventional suggestion that software should not write temporary files in user's home directory, but do it on /tmp/ or /var/tmp? I ask this because when I want to backup a live user profile usually it fails thanks to file size change during backup. Most of them are temporary files. In my case it is a bit difficult to back it up by asking the user to log out, because I can only access their computers in working hour, and they are working in working our, especially backup takes perhaps 1 hour, and I don't want to interrupt them by 1 hour. After working hour they took back their notebooks. I start to think, that is it by design backup should be when user not logged in, or is there exist a convention of not using ~/.app as temp but software designers tends to ignore that?
