I keep my logs for a year. If my logs start to outgrow the space, I just zip the older ones, and optionally put them on my file server. You never know why you might need them - performance, security, HR, etc. Kurt On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 08:57, Eric seag...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the

It'll be a wasted call, for the moment. You won't get any better advice out of PSS than you're getting here. First - what are you using to compress the files? Are you using the built-in compression for Windows, or are you using winzip/7zip/some other 3rd party compression/archiving tool? Kurt
