I’m trying to upload a 14.4MB backup to my VPS and get this message after 20%

[//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/meta/original/3X/6/9/690beb2215180e83a5effd4b472f6095c20d65f9.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/9/690beb2215180e83a5effd4b472f6095c20d65f9.jpg)

this is the output of df though:

```
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ploop21283p1 11220208 2410508 8285604 23% /

none 524288 0 524288 0% /run/shm
none 102400 0 102400 0% /run/user

```

What could be the cause of this error?
