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:
``/tmp/``. To specify a different directory for temporary files, set
the appropriate environment variable. On non-Windows operating systems,
use the ``TMPDIR`` environment variable. On Windows, use either the
``TMP`` or ``TEMP`` environment variable. For example, to use the
directory ``/var/tmp/restic-tmp`` instead of the default, set the
environment variable as follows:
