# Temporary files
During some operations (e.g. `backup` and `prune`) restic uses temporary files
to store data. These files will, by default, be saved to the system's temporary
directory, on Linux this is usually located in `/tmp/`. The environment
variable `TMPDIR` can be used to specify a different directory, e.g. to use the
directory `/var/tmp/restic-tmp` instead of the default, set the environment
variable like this:
```console
$ export TMPDIR=/var/tmp/restic-tmp
$ restic -r /tmp/backup backup ~/work
```
