Log File Storage

How long are log files kept on the server?

Thanks, Gary

It depends on the server, but typically at least 1 month.

Excellent! I just started using your service and have log files scheduled to download every five days.

That should work just fine, but why not daily? I assume you only download the files that actually changed? :slight_smile:

It’s probably not a bad idea to download them daily. It’s just the way it was setup years ago.

I use ws_ftp pro to download log files. I’ll have to see if I can just download files that have changed, which is also not a bad idea.

Thanks.

I’m not sure.. I don’t know WS_FTP Pro, I’ve always hated WS_FTP :slight_smile:

I used to have a nice script that synced complete webpages to another computer and produced differential archives daily. It could have been useful, apart from a few problems :wink:

[ul]
[li]It ran on linux/bash/lftp
[/li][li]It ran on a VPS account here at JodoHost that went “boom” (that was on VPS1 btw, shortly after VPS3 was introduced^^)
[/li][li]The backup script was not backupped, how ironic :stuck_out_tongue:
