The standard place to put them is as messages.1, messages.2 etc in the
same directory as "messages", probably /var/log/

Another question on this topic :
How can I make logrotate use two digits ? Ie messages.01, messages.02
to messages.09, messages.10, messages.11 ?

I don't like the way that my directory is sorted at the moment when
rotating more than 10 backups of a file.
