• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

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.
