Do people routinely clean up the log directory?  I'm up to about 82
gigs.  I think it is time.  Do I really care about log "log.20060512.0"
anymore?

If you remove those files manually, than Amanda cannot locate older
backups anymore with "amadmin x find".  When Amanda does not need
them anymore, Amanda moves them to the subdir "oldlog".

And only from that "oldlog" directory you may remove them if you need the
diskspace.  I keep them to as data for historical evolution of
my backups like backup sizes, times dumpspeed, tapespeed etc.
