Log cleanup rules

This option specifies how to clean up the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent log.
This option defines the maximum size of the agent log folder (in Windows XP/2003 Server,
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\LogEvents).
The preset is: Maximum log size: 1 GB. On cleanup, keep 95% of the maximum log size.
When the option is enabled, the program compares the actual log size with the maximum size after
every 100 log entries. Once the maximum log size is exceeded, the program deletes the oldest log
entries. You can select the amount of log entries to retain. The default 95% setting will keep most of
the log. With the minimum 1% setting, the log will be nearly cleared.
This parameter can also be set by using Acronis Administrative Template (p. 319).
