Can't be that precise, but here's a leg-up:
run "locate logrotate | less" to find where the config files are.
If the RaQ is like the Qube, then it'll be in /etc/logrotate.d/apache.
You'll see it's size based, not time based.

You could increase the size and then do a daily cronjob to
copy the logfile.  Read "man logrotate"

Or replace the "size" line with "weekly".

Warning: this will invalidate your warranty.  I don't know 
how this will interact with the GUI.  I have never tried it.
Proceed at your own risk.  If in doubt, hire a consultant.
