moved data from 1 PC to another, now have strange may totals

[ace2]

I followed wiki for moving data.
Connected station on new pc which took 40 mins to download data, noted 2000mm in the spike removal for today. Strange but OK.
Was checking my site monthly figures and may has 8000mm of rain and a wind gust of over 400km?????

What when wrong?????????

And why only may???????

Looking at my monthly page, it list different dates/months under everyone.
What is the best way of correcting this??

A. Edited monthly totals.
B. Unplug station and recopy data folder from previous setup.

C. Or erase everything and start from scratch

If you have followed the instructions correctly (and all you really need to do is to install Cumulus on the new PC, configure it - or use your existing cumulus.ini file if the settings still apply - and then stop Cumulus and copy the data folder over) then I suspect that your Windows settings (date/time formats etc) aren't the same on the new PC as the old one. The fact that May (the 5th month) is affected, and today is the 5th July makes that a pretty good bet.

So what you can do now is - check your Windows settings, and then copy the data folder over.

Will I still have all the data logged today???
Its been on the new setup for 10 hours....

Sort out your Windows settings then copy the data folder over again. It will download today's data again.
