By default file.log is always the current file. Optionally file.log.yyyy-mm-dd for current formatted datePattern can by the currently logging file (or file.log.curSizeRollBackup or even file.log.yyyy-mm-dd.curSizeRollBackup).

This will make time based rollovers with a large number of backups much faster as the appender it won't have to rename all the backups!
