LMS 4.2 Soft Apliance has default:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/smosvg-optvol
105G 4.8G 95G 5% /opt
/dev/mapper/smosvg-varvol
53G 268M 50G 1% /var
Where to create Backup folder? Under /opt or /var ?

/var seems more logical to me, but you can choose where ever is most diskspace available.
I also advise to run a cronjob the tar gzip your backup and push it of to a storage, iow not on the appliance.
Basically keep perhaps the last 2 or 3 backups on the appliance.

DB's. Logs get rotated. I always configure that to go for a rotate weekly.
ump 'performance' database grows quite big .
I've made a batchfile to do ftp and another one that uses something called robocopy. I need to see if I still have these.
But it is not rocket sience
Sometimes it stays on the customer machine without a copy on my pc :-|

Thank you Michael.
Hm, /var seems more logical to me too, but more diskspace is available under /opt (95GB vs 50GB). What about long-term basis? Db is under /opt, logs under /var etc. What will grow faster?
Do you have some cronjob backup script to share with us? Firther more, is it ok to place it under shell, regarding Cisco support & warranty?
