== On restarting Cumulus, it did not successfully read all data from when it last ran ==
 
Assuming you use the type of weather station that does have an internal memory that retains observations that have already been read by your computer (and assuming that you have not left Cumulus off for so long that some of the days you want are no longer there)...
 
Use the 'rewind feature' of Cumulus. Look in the backup folder for the backup which Cumulus took when it first started up today. Stop Cumulus, copy all of the files from that backup folder into the data folder (overwriting the files which are there) - this restores Cumulus to the state it was in before you ran it today. Start Cumulus and it should then download the data (from the date when it last stopped running onwards), to get up to date.
As mentioned elsewhere, you can even choose an older back-up and rewind back further providing the information is in the station logger. Remember however, that when you restart Cumulus it will only have access to observations at the station's logging interval, so any extremes picked up by the frequent querying of the station while Cumulus was previously running during the period you are now rewinding may be lost.
