'backup' log files
Authored by: steve_kovs on May 16, '01 04:21:17AM

That part of the beta debug code, I know this because I asked the same question of Adaptec. It will be there until the code goes final. It can be generated by any number of situation (I had a Zip attached with no disk inserted).

This isn't an issue..

Somewhat of an issue...

Well, it's not an issue unless you have a bit of a worry about hard drive space and don't leave your Mac on overnite. My log file yesterday grew to just over 18mb in size; after the nightly maintenance run, the gzipped version is "only" 5.5mb. Still, with seven of those on the hard drive, that's 35mb. I'm not sure what the situation would be if you turn your Mac off at night; then, there's no chance for the system to compress the log file.

Just a heads-up more than anything; I'm sure it will be fixed when they go final, but it is a bit of a disk-space eater right now!
