[Labs-l] IRC logs are gone

[Petr Bena]

I restored them from automatic backup, but we are missing 3 days,
11.12.2012 is last day of backup - 12. 13. 14 is missing

the bot is making a tarball every day. today's tarball which was created
from yesterday's files is already missing almost all logs, that's why I
think it happened yesterday as well, and today there was only 1 log file in
each directory, that means removal happened again. that's why I mean every
day. Don't know if it happened 12. 12. as well
