Hi,
I do incremental backups of a server. Everything is smooth except for log rotation, because everyday all log rotation files get renamed (1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 3, etc), so they are downloaded again and again, though they are old files.
What would be good is to have log rotation naming set to something like [YEAR][MONTH][DAY]. This way, old logs wouldn't be redownloaded day after day and I could store almost a year of incremental backups instead of just 2 months in 1 TB, and it would be easier to find the logs for a concrete date/period.
Is there a way to set the naming of logrotation processed logs to achieve what I look for?
Thank you
