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 wrote: > Thanks for the reminder! > > Is ther

Cool. I believe that's what MBS was getting at. If it were me, I'd move a few hundred of the latest log files to a different partition, then start compressing the oldest log files, a few hundred at a time, and when you have a bunch of them compressed (maybe a thousand or so) move the files back th

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 O
