Howdy,
Mmm. Well, looking in the Virtualmin code, the part that determines what temp dir to use during the backups looks like this:
[code:1]
local $tempbase = $gconfig{'tempdir_'.$module_name} ||
$gconfig{'tempdir'} ||
"/tmp/.webmin";
[/code:1]
So what does that mean? I haven't had a chance to test this yet, but I suspect that means you could edit this file:
/etc/webmin/backup-config/config
And that you could add in either:
tempdir_backup-config = /path/to/another/dir
or failing that (the module name may be incorrect), you could always try:
tempdir = /path/to/another/dir
You'll of course want to test that out before relying on it for your backups ;-)

You can set the tmp directory under "Webmin -> Webmin Configurations -> Advance Settings"
