Well, there is a script that comes with MRTG ( all versions !!?) that converts the .log files to .rrd files. That way, your old data, are stored in Round Robin files. Now take them, and let rrdtool take them over. You might encounter little problems if you graph totals from different datasources, where the NAN ( uknown data) will ruin the summation, you will need to zero them.
