Description	This parameter defines how many backups are made for log files. A backup log file is created each time the current Log file reaches its maximum size. For example, assume that 'instance.log' is the current log file and if the LOG_FILE_BACKUPS parameter is set to 3. The following sequence occurs when instance.log reaches the maximum size: instance.log is renamed into instance.log.0 and a new instance.log file is created. instance.log.0 is renamed into instance.log.1, instance.log is renamed into instance.log.0 and a new instance.log file is created. instance.log.1 is renamed into instance.log.2, instance.log.0 is renamed into instance.log.1, instance.log is renamed into instance.log.0 and a new instance.log file is created. instance.log.2 is deleted, instance.log.1 is renamed into instance.log.2, instance.log.0 is renamed into instance.log.1, instance.log is renamed into instance.log.0 and a new instance.log file is created. and so on.
