Hi Steve,

Here is an existing topic that gives some information about log files retention configuration > Change logfile location?

You may want to adjust max size of the logs to keep, however this does not guarantee that they will be retained for 1 year. If I were you I would redirect log location to some archive folder, set 2 TB (or more, depends on logs current size and the size of your infrastructure you protect) for the max log size, should do the trick.

As an alternative you can schedule a regular file copy job to move all log files to the archive folder.

Hope this helps!

You might also want to use something like Robocopy, since in this case only changed files would be transferred to "archive" location. Thanks.

So will an auditor be able to look at these logs and see a years worth of backups?
