The backup is made in the root not mnt drive and it only just fits
- How do I redirect backup away from the 9Gb root drive
- If I use a symbolic link, does (ephemeral) /mnt survive a restart or reboot? or will I have to attach an EBS and fstab it? Would either of these restore?
- Will I need to reconfigure Duplicity /tmp as in Restoring from a large (7GB+) backup fails
Thanks

We deployed a tweak for this a while ago, which mount binds /tmp to /mnt/tmp so you can take advantage of the ephemeral storage.
The tweak is applied to all newly deployed servers, but if you need to apply it manually to a running server then it should be something like this:
Ephemeral storage should survive a reboot, but not a start-stop (ebs backed).
If you would like the mount binding to happen automatically on reboot / start-stop, the following should help (note that you don't need to do this on newly launched instances:
I hope the above helps...
I think that covers it and
I think that covers it and goes the extra mile too. I'll also add a couple of paranoia options for overbackup
