So 10% would be roughly 24-25GB free space. Far cry from the 750MB he
has...
I'm curious to know if there's a specific free space recommendation or
requirement in this scenario.

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.
