It&rsquo;s easy to let disk space consumption get out of hand, especially with the amount of data we generate these days. I&rsquo;ve seen this go wrong when I didn&rsquo;t keep a close eye on my server&rsquo;s disk usage - it was growing at an alarming rate. To get back on track, I&rsquo;ve implemented a quarterly rsync snapshot and log rotation strategy. The real trick is to find a balance between keeping enough data for backups and not letting logs consume too much disk space.</p>
