I use Logger to manage all my logs. I keep all my logs in /var/log for ease
of use and have them prefixed with "Squid_". Here is the script I use on my
backup machine to handle the compression et all:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:
export D=`date -d yesterday +"%y%j"`

tar -cp /var/log/Squid_*.$D | bzip2 -9 >> /Backup/Squid.bz2

rm /home2/log/Squid_*.$D &> /dev/null
 

Logger automatically rotates all my logs daily and my log data is
transmitted from my squid server to my backup machine automatically. I
don't keep the logs on my squid server.
