It isn't possible to save the logfiles together with the
configuration in the
versions 3.x and it shouldn't be added IMHO.
Due to the fundamental changes in the backup framework, it
will slow down the
reboot and it may even not work as you expect, or will have
side effects
which can annoy others (overwriting the boot messages).
But you can add a similar functionality, as you've used in
earlier versions,
easily yourself - let a cronjob do a "tar cvf
/mnt/log.tar /var/log/*" (maybe
you have to mount the device before and umount after).
But then every log message not saved to your device before a
reboot, by
accident, by an attacker or whatelse, is lost.
A more secure approach is to do remote logging. syslogd is
capable of doing
that, and shorewall can log to syslog - it does need some
playing (I'm not
going to write a how-to here and yet  ) - but you
may start with:
man syslogd
and

(note LEAF Bering-uClibc uses ULOG)
