Joel,
Ok I got the point.
There are plenty of approaches to archive DB files.
Here I want to know how can I clean up 'snort.log' files automatically that keep on growing in a production system without much admin interference.
Thanks in advance
Ashish Sharma

Although you could save the unified files and read them back into the db at a later time if you wanted to with barnyard2. As for cleaning up the DB, I think there is a script that can clean up the db.
If you Google "snort db cleanup" many sites come up, however, this one popped out at me. Might give it a shot.
