Switching Weather Stations, Retain Historical Records etc.
Posted: Sun 14 Aug 2022 11:10 am
I recently purchased a Tempest weather station with the intent of "retiring" my Vantage Vue after about 10 years of use. I have the 2 stations set up in the back garden/yard about 8 feet apart so I can gauge how differently they read. I would like to set-up my Tempest on my dedicated weather PC but retain all the legacy data (records etc.).
What I have done so far is create a fresh CMX install on my laptop for the Tempest then copy across the files from the weather PC data folder (bar the current months' data as I started recording August 1st). This seemed to do the trick with legacy data. One file I am unclear on and did not copy across is CumulusMX.db. I am not sure if I should copy this from the other PC.
My intent - now I am happy with the configuration etc. is to backup my Vantage Vue directory and copy the new install over to my weather PC and run from there.
Does this make sense - and what should I do with the db file? There are some other tweaks needed but seems I am close.
