All I use mirdir for is weekly backups of current contents of my local & LAN 
servers.  There a number of generations & levels of backups (some daily, some 
weeklies) wrapped up.  So much so that I never saw the value of maintaining a 
library of logfiles.

If I really was obsessive, it would take me a week just browsing logfiles to 
the omission of any other activities.  I don't bother reading them any longer, 
with the exception of a single disk listing capture file of a single slice of 
backed-up files that I may refer to up to a dozen times later in the week.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
