Repair after system crash

Yesterday suddenly my harddisk stopped working on the computer with Cumulus installed on it. Now I did a new installation on another computer. I had a copy of the DATA-map of Cumulus from 2 July 2014. After copying the DATA-map to the newly installed version, everything seems to work fine.

The only problem is that now I miss the weather-info from 2 July 2014 in my dayfile.txt. Frustrating, because I know that most data is still available in my WH1080. How can I tell Cumulus to use that data to complete my dayfile.txt?

If you just copied an entire data folder before you started Cumulus up, it would automatically download the missing data from the logger when you started it. But once you have run it without the old data, it won't do that, as described in the FAQ.

If you stop it now and copy your backup data again, the next time it starts up it will attempt to download the missing data to catch up to today. It uses the date and time information in today.ini to know what data it needs to download.
