  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Question archiving logs via a scheduled task

I have a need for a means by which I could run a scheduled task which would move selected logs for all of the domains on my servers to an alternate folder. The script would move the zipped log files that are (as an example) more than 2 weeks old, and it would place them in a separate folder.

Source:
C:\inetpub\vhosts\somedomain1.com\logs\iis\W3SVC29\u_ex231104.zip
C:\inetpub\vhosts\somedomain2.com\logs\iis\W3SVC24\u_ex231104.zip


Ideally, it would maintain the portion of the source path, so something like this:
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\log backups\somedomain1.com\logs\iis\W3SVC29\u_ex231104.zip
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\log backups\somedomain2.com\logs\iis\W3SVC24\u_ex231104.zip

I would then periodically download and clear the contents of that folder.

Does anyone have something like this? I host e-commerce sites and thus retention of logs for an extended period of time is important in the event that I need the logs for researching events such as hacking.
