Today.ini: Difference between revisions

On restart Cumulus writes a backup of today.ini (and some of the other Cumulus files) into the [[Backup_folder|backup folder]] found below the folder with the cumulus.exe (or CumulusMX.exe). With Cumulus stopped, you can copy the today.ini file in either a restart backup, or a daily backup (see [[#Where are the files stored?]]), in conjuction withalso copying the other files in that backup folder into their original folders (mostly [[data_folder|data sub-folder]]) overwriting the files in those destinations. When you restart Cumulus, the tracking will begin again as if the time has been rewound back to the date those copied files were last updated. This rewinding works best if historic data can be read from your weather station. One example of when this might be useful is if you spot a rogue value very soon after it has been recorded, the rewinding often brings in correct data for the recent period. Another example is if your computer on rebooting initially shows the wrong time and so Cumulus records some data against that wrong time; a rewind can eliminate the wrongly timed records and replace them with records timed correctly.
