I've got 0 experience with RollingFileAppender, but I think under Windows it has this problem. Have you tried the DailyRollingFileAppender? It's a different class, and while it does not have a max-backup property, it definitely rolls over properly under windows when the date pattern triggers it. Might be worth a shot. Cheers, Paul Smith
