I’ve followed the instructions ([this](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md) and [this](http://blog.discourse.org/2013/04/discourse-as-your-first-rails-app/)) to get a local developer Discourse running. It seems to have worked, and I am browsing at `http://localhost:4000/` as admin. I would now like to upload the backup of my working cloud Discourse (a new install on DigitalOcean, the backup file is only about 4MB). The plan is to hack away on the local version.

My backup upload fails with

**“There has been an error while uploading ‘my-discourse-2016-04-04-131830.tar.gz’: There is not enough space on disk to upload this backup.”**

Back to the local developer Discourse, here is an image of the output from the ssh to the VirtualBox VM when I try to upload the backup (I am not sure if it will help):

I am not sure how to proceed - any ideas?
