Interface BackupPolicy

All Known Implementing Classes:

DeleteBackupPolicy, NullBackupPolicy

public interface BackupPolicy

An interface for a pluggable backup policy. Implementation may wish to zip files if reached a certain threshold. By default a NullBackupPolicy is used, but can be replaced by a DeleteBackupPolicy to keep a backup of files, but delete old ones.

Implementations can derive their configuration properties from the LogManager directly.

 For example, retrieve a threshold property:

 LogManager manager = LogManager.getLogManager();
 String cname = this.getClass.getName();
 Integer threshold = Integer.valueOf(manager.getProperty(cname+".threshold"));
 ...
