I hope someone can help me. I am using the default installation of squid on an old Red Hat 8.0 box. I have to find really old log files from about 2-3 years ago. It is VERY important that I find these.
Has the machine been backuped at that time? It might be a chance.
Unfortunately for me, they are on log rotation and I think they may have been overwritten. Is there any to find really old log entries? I hope there is some way to find these. I know I am SOL. But if any list can think of something it is this one. Any help or suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
There might be a chance that the files are still there, but it's minimal.
Also, I did uncompress these logs and viewed them in a text editor. Maybe there is a way to find the files that way?
The recent files? Just have a look when the oldest one starts. That's as far as you can go back. If there's no old backuptapes or a old harddisk from that machine it's unlikely that you'll find something.
