Download data from weather station after re-install of Cumulus MX.

[Ohlzzon]

Hi ! This summer I bought an WMR-200 and I immediately chose Cumulus MX to be the software to use. I haven't been that much into computers since the 80-ies but I've managed to set all things up correctly using this forum. I'm running CMX on a Raspberry Pie 3 with Rasbian. After 3 weeks I unfortunately suffered a complete memory card crash. Now I've once again got it up and running again.

I have 2 questions motivated from my experience with the MC crash.

1. When I reinstalled Cumulus MX it only presents weather data from the day of reinstallation. My WMR-200 however has data in the log from day I installed the weather station. How do I force Cumulus MX to download all the data in the WMR-200:s log to be used in CMX:s statistics ?

2. Does Cumulus MX save a backup file containing the Cumulus MX:s weather data in the web files / directory at my ISP ? That means where the necessary files for my home page are stored ? If not, would it be possible to include a function that uploads a backup copy to Dropbox (for an example ) once a day ? The purpose is of course not risk losing valuable data in case of a new crash.

You find my Cumulus Web Page at http://www.ohlzzon.st. ( Gauges isn't working yet but I think I've adressed the target for the extra file wrong. )

Thanx for a great software. A donation will arrive when my wallet is re-fueled. / Mats from Sweden.

You can't force Cumulus to do it because that's not how the WMR200 works - it decides what data to send. See this FAQ but note the limitation with the WMR200 - you might be lucky and it might send the data you want, if it does still have it. http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#I.E2.8 ... er_station Editing today.ini as described will make sure that Cumulus uses it if it does send it.

Cumulus is not backup software. If you want to take reliable backups - and that is an excellent thing to do - you should use something other than Cumulus to do it.
