How about backing up those directories as normal, and in your daily script
run a
find /var/log/OLD/ -mtime +7 -print 2>/dev/null | xargs dsmc -id=id -pa=pa
archive -deletefiles
That way they'll stay on disk for a week and they won't get deleted unless
they're archived. I didn't try out the command I gave above, and I'm sure
it needs a bit of minor tweaking, but I think the concept should work and
meet your stated requirements. I don't, however, know of an "incremental
archive."
