If you still leave the built-in log rotation then should someone ever run "squid -k rotate" manually then those log files will be lost (or perhaps stuck in the Squid log directory). You also can't use the logrotate rules on when to rotate the logs differently for the different Squid log files. By disabling the builtin log rotation and having logrotate (or another log rotation tool) do all the renaming, moving etc then you ensure that the log rotation tool knows what is going on att all time. If the final backup is on a different disk then log rotation should be done in three steps 1. Rename the logs within the log directory 2. squid -k rotate, and wait a little to have Squid finish the log rotation. It's not crucial to wait very long, but if you wait too shoort you may loose some cache.log lines about log rotation when the logs gets copied from the Squid log directory to the archival/backup directory.. 3. Move the renamed logs to the final archival/backup directory Regards Henrik
