You want it in a different file, specify a different file.  For example,

logging.basicConfig(filename="F:/data/logging_info/bumpr.log", 
level=logging.INFO)

No idea what part main.py plays to your code.  If it's imported, then 
you could use main.__file__  to get the full pathname to it.  Then use 
os.path.dirname() to get the directory.  Then use os.path.join() to 
combine that with "bumpr.log".

More likely, this is your script.  So if you're trying to get the 
filename from the script, you just use
   __file__

And if that doesn't show up as an absolute path, use os.path.abspath.  i 
couldn't test that part, since I don't use Windows, and can't play with 
the Windows Task Scheduler.
