Move log files

joequick
I just upgrade/moved Astaro to new hardware.

My question is.. can I move the old log files (about a years worth) to the new machine?? I really don't think that I will need them, but just in case as I would like to be able to put the old hardware in place somewhere else and not keep it moth balled for a year.

Thanks

    The hard drive can't be worth much.  I just put our old one on the shelf when we upgraded a year ago.  You're right, I've never gone back to it.

    Cheers - Bob
    PS I know that I didn't answer your question.  I haven't heard of moving old logs into a new installation, but I did once use Winscp to move some off a drive once.  You have to go in first and chown to loginuser for the logs.

    If the old hardware is to be repurposed, you can always SCP them off of the box (check under /var/log) and burn 'em to a DVD or something... copying them to the new box is not a good idea, you're better off just offloading the old logs to some other storage medium.
