Prune Log Files

To specify log file pruning only:

1. Disable the Limit Log Size By option.
2. Click the Prune Logs Older Than option and specify the number of days that you want to elapse before Arcserve Backup prunes log files.
3. (Optional) In the Single Log File Size field, enter a size in KB to specify a size limit for a single log file. If you do not specify a value in the Single Log File Size field, Arcserve Backup uses the default value, 10000 KB, as the size limitation for each single log file.
4. Click OK to apply the settings.

Important! If you enable both Limit Log Size options (Limit Log Size By and Prune Logs Older Than), Arcserve Backup prunes log files if either the total number of log files exceeds the Log File Count, or the date of the log file exceeds the number of days specified under the Prune Log Files Older Than option. You cannot specify a Single Log File Size--Arcserve Backup uses the formula Total Log Size divided by Log File Count to calculate the Log File Size setting.
