My Wordpress appliance has been backing up fine until three days ago... then I noticed no backups so tried to do one manually and recevied the following error:
root@wordpress /# tklbam-backup
CREATING /TKLBAM
Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/spool/postfix/defer/C/C99AC4AF0A'
I tried the advice from this post, which didn't work: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20120202/back-failed-no-such-file-or-directory-varcacheduplicity
I restored a snapshot from the last time a backup worked, but I'm still getting the same problem. I can restore an even earlier backup, but that would mean loosing quite a bit of work going to a snapshot that is a week old.
If anyone has some ideas on what could be going wrong, or how to provide more data on the error it would be greatly appreciated.
