In my site I handle that via a Postschedulecmd perl script that I set up to parse the backup log for daily statistics (which is then appended to the log) and cut off that scheduler log file to a ______.YYYYMMDD name, which I shuffle off to HSM storage after a day or so. This is preferable to daily backups continually adding to a single, growing log file. Using TSM Archive to store older logs is also a good method.
