    What is the most effective way to save all logs externally to a hard drive/thumb drive? I periodically rebuild my config but would like to save ALL logs…is there a simple was to do this securely?

    Not sure its possible but no doubt an attacker would delete its logs but is there a secure way to keep them externally? Not a fan of a cloud solution...

    Config is a small network, Netgate appliance.

    Thanks in advance...

      Save them to an external log server.
