Hi Steve
Sorry to trouble you with this but i cant get my head round it

I am running 1.9.3
I returned from holiday yesterday to find that my computer went in to hibernate 2 weeks ago and when i resumed it Cumulus seems to have lost its data from 2 august.
How can i force it to get the data from the logger please

You will need to 'rewind'. The easiest way is to use a set of the backup files. Find the daily backup folder from just before your PC hibernated, and copy the files into your data folder (with Cumulus stopped), then start Cumulus up again. There may not be daily backups in 1.9.3, it's very old, obsolete, and no longer supported. If not, you'll have to look for one of the 'startup' backup sets, or manually rewind by editing the timestamp in today.ini and, removing the entries in the data logs back to the same point in time.

Note that you are guaranteed to lose data if you let your PC hibernate (or any other form of standby) while Cumulus is running.

Thanks Steve
It is version 1.9.4 (1085). I had got it wrong.
I would never use suspend or hibernate but it was part of a power plan on the laptop that got changed by mistake.

I will update at same time
