# Output:
#   log_rotate.log i=999
#   log_rotate.log.2017_01_17_09-33 i=175
#   log_rotate.log.2017_01_17_09-34 i=749
#   log_rotate.log.2017_01_17_09-35 i=998
#
# Expected:
#   Multiple files containing all i=0 to 999 (since backupCount=0 by default)
#   Not missing any of the logging data.
#   Even with backupCount=5, I'd expect the files to be the _most recent_ 5 data points (i=995...999, not i=175,749,998,999)
