Good afternoon everyone. I have a proxmox backup server, which ran out of space on the root drive. I noticed that there were 2 files that were taking up all the space: syslog and daeman.log.  
I reduced them with the truncate command. But after a day, they are already growing considerably.  
Any solution to prevent this from happening? Greetings
