    I have the impression that everyday (well everynight) after awstats excutes its tasks
    the Apache log files of each website are deleted. Am I right?
    I ask because I need to track the defacement of a website and it seems like my R1Soft backup
    rules are not including the backup of the log files.

    You can decide it yourself. Generally cPanel does not delete logs instead it archives them and save. You can rotate the logs according to your needs.

    If Delete each domain’s access logs after stats run, in Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings, is On, then the domains' logs, in /usr/local/apache/domlogs, are deleted after each stats run. The default for this setting is On.

    The log rotation configuration mentioned by pwhjenny is for the cPanel logs, not the domains' Apache logs. They are totally separate, not related.
