Fix when rollover doesn't occur?

My PC went to 'sleep' overnight and cumulus stopped updating and the 'end of day' rollover did not occur. So 'yesterday's' data is empty and today's data is cumulative of yesterday plus today.
Is there a way to force the rollover to occur backdated in the data for midnight last night?
Apologies if the answer is elsewhere on the site, could find lots of 'reasons' why the rollover doesn't occur, but not how to fix it.

You can 'rewind' using one of the backups Cumulus takes each time it starts up (folders created in the 'backup' folder) and each midnight (folders in the 'backup/daily' folder). Find the latest set just before the problem, and with Cumulus stopped, copy all of the files from the chosen backup folder to the data folder, and start Cumulus again.

Good point, you are helping to improve the great documentation available with this software - as you say FAQ only had reasons, that was not really full answer. I'd not noticed rewinds needed a mention there.
