Cool. I believe that's what MBS was getting at. If it were me, I'd move a few hundred of the latest log files to a different partition, then start compressing the oldest log files, a few hundred at a time, and when you have a bunch of them compressed (maybe a thousand or so) move the files back that you placed elsewhere, and keep going with your compression, until you have free disk space equal to some significant fraction of your total partition space - I'd guess about 10% free, but others will have a better answer on that exact number. At any rate, once that amount of free space is obtained, backups will work, and log files will disappear.
This will take some time, but it's certainly a very clean way of getting this done. I definitely wouldn't highlight the log directory and compress the entire directory. - that will cause other problems. Stay the course.
