Lazy log backup script

Lazy log backup

I'm lazy to make backups. Logs are usually most crucial thing when investigating what went wrong. This scripts is lazy man solution to log collection.

All you need is rsync and SSH public keys set on target machines. One can easily define multiple target machines, logs and rotation intervals. Note that rotation here means changing destination folder.
