I've got this far:

 private void backupLogFile() {

        ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger log = 
(ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger)LoggerFactory.getLogger(LOG.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME);

        Iterator<Appender<ILoggingEvent>> itr = log.iteratorForAppenders();
        List<Appender<ILoggingEvent>> appenders = new 
LinkedList<Appender<ILoggingEvent>>();
        while (itr.hasNext()) {
            appenders.add(itr.next());

        }

      
        for(int i=0;i<appenders.size();++i){
            if(appenders.get(i).getName().equals("async-file-appender"))
            {
                LOG.info("FOUND FILE APPENDER");
                
FileAppender myFile = (FileAppender)appenders.get(i);
                      String filename = myFile.getFile();
               
            }
 
        }
       


    }

At runtime, Java tells me 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: 
ch.qos.logback.classic.AsyncAppender incompatible with 
ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender

I can't work out how to get the configured currentLogFilename, anybody know 
how do this?

Thanks
