log

Hello everyone,

I am using SQL Server 2008 Enterprise. Under logs folder, in my machine it is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log, there are three kinds of files,

ERRORLOG, ERRORLOG.1, ERRORLOG.2 ... ERRORLOG.6;
FDLAUNCHERRORLOG, FDLAUNCHERRORLOG.1, FDLAUNCHERRORLOG.2, ... FDLAUNCHERRORLOG.6;
log_207.trc, log_208.trc, ...

My question is what are the differnet function of such log files? And why there are files ends with .1, .2, etc?

thanks in advance, George
