Sorry, Marco, I wasn't thinking too clearly when I replied.
The filename at the end of the command line must be the name of
the configuration file.
The filename at the top of the configuration file must be the
name of the file to be rotated.
Is your logfile named - exactly - "/var/log/backup"? If so,
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/backup
should work.
In fact, it's more usual, I think, to put details in the
/etc/logrotate.conf file, leaving the logrotate.d directory for
packages to put their configurations in, but I can't see what
difference it would make.
What seems to have happened is that logrotate looked for the
configuration in your logfile and couldn't to anything with it.
But I don't know what that "razor-agent" is all about. Perhaps
you do...
I hope that works now.
Cheers,
David
