It simply can't be done reliably. If you need to keep an archive of logs, it has to be plain text, perhaps compressed, so that they can be kept anywhere and retrieved anywhere, without special tools. Say, keep logs in CDs, for instance. true, but are you sure it can't be done?
Quite! You can not archive for long term a binary database on a different media. You need to also archive with it the software needed to read it. Otherwise, journalctl has to be able to read a database in another path, and the devs must promise to always generate code backwards compatible, so that next versions of journalctl can read obsolete formats of the log database. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
