Backing up log files

Every half hour, and each time it is started, the Application Publishing Service searches the Log folder for files that have reached the specified age or size limit. It then either deletes the files or moves them to the Log/Backup folder. If, while sweeping the log files, the Application Publishing Service finds that the age or size limit has been met in the current log file, it closes the file and installs a newly created file in its place.

By default, log files are backed up after seven days, or when the file size has reached 20 MB.
