Exchange 2013 - Moving message tracking logs to new server when deleting old one

Decommisioning one of our old mailbox/CAs servers. What we don't want to do is lose any of the message tracking logs off this old server. Obviously, if we power off/uninstall we're going to lose a portion of message tracking.

Is there any way to preserve these logs? Copy to a server thats staying etc? (I guess not considering there would be duplicate file names then).

Because, and correct me if Im wrong, if my customer comes to me and says get me a list of all emails recieved from this domain in the last 30 days? Which they did recently.

I understand you have to run a powershell command to check the logs on all servers. If we lose one then surely you've lost the logs that might be on that server for the last 30 days?

Todd - thanks.

Best way to stop mail flowing through the server? Stop necessary services?

We do use an exterrnal spam filter but that would only be for external email.
OK. Assume you have server A and server B - you want to get rid of B.

Is there no way to copy log files from B onto A? Or will A complain that the log files are from the wrong server? Or not be possible anyway due to duplicate filenames?
