export BM_BURNING_METHOD="none"
export BM_PRE_BACKUP_COMMAND="/root/backup-manager-PRE_BACKUP_COMMAND.sh"

the /etc archive is made and exported without problem
The zip compression of /var is launcher but i get not enough space on my hard drive.

the /var/log/user.log show a problem:
backup-manager[29643]: warning * Impossible de créer « /var/archives/xxxx-var.20220517.master.zip », lisez /tmp/bm-tarball.log.XkoNY3 pour les détails.

The end of /tmp/bm-tarball.log.XkoNY3 is:
   adding: var/archives/xxxx-etc.20220515.master.zip (stored 0%)
   adding: var/archives/xxxx-etc.20220513.master.zip (stored 0%)
   adding: var/archives/xxxx-etc.20220514.master.zip (stored 0%)
   adding: var/archives/xxxx-var.20220514.master.zip
zip I/O error: No space left on device
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)

The problem that /var/archives who is the content of BM_TARBALL_BLACKLIST shouldn't be include to the zip !
