    Backup Files

    Hi Guys,
    I need a script to backup heavily logging files to free disk space. I need to backup the files without missing an entry and then empty the huge log files in real time.
    Regards

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    How to do this depends upon a number of factors, such as are these system log files, or log files from some application server? Is there some means to switch log files so that it will close the old one and start a new one? If so, then you can do that and copy the old log file(s) to any suitable media (such as external disc, tape, DVD, etc) without losing your data.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
