Which /var/log files can I remove to make space on my drive?
by Doga Ozer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HJ8H)
Hi all,
My question is quite general and not quite specific on which log files I'm pointing out to.
But does anybody know how I can determine the old .log.1 or .gz files that are listed in my /var/log directory?
I wanted to backup all of the log files onto a USB partition, but don't know if that's possible on Linux.
Could you perhaps give me suggestions regarding this question I have please?
Thank alot for your support in advance guys!
Kind Regards,
Doga
