Botched Upgreade

[DeerWeather]

I shut down MX and using FTP dragged the CumulusMX folder from my Pi-3 over to my PC desktop. (Made an extra copie just in case).
Then I copied over the 3.28.2 files to the folder I pulled off the Pi-3, then put that back on my Pi-3. Reboot and MX is back up and running at 3.28.2 but I am missing all the historical data when I view the MX dashboard. When I browse the Backup and Data folders on the Pi-3, the older .ini and .txt files still seem to be intact. I did see some FTP errors that seem to indicate MX was maybe NOT fully shut down?

Here is a sample when trying to FTP from my desk top back to the Pi-3

Command: put "C:\Users\frank\Desktop\pi3 Cumulus-back-up\CumulusMX\backup\daily\20240131000000\month.ini" "month.ini"
Error: /opt/CumulusMX/backup/daily/20240131000000/month.ini: open for write: permission denied
Error: File transfer failed


Not panicking yet but any advice would be most welcome.... That pi-3 / MX has been running perfectly for years.

Thank you!!

Bad idea copying to the desktop of your User.

Set up CumulusMX folder in the root of the C: Drive i.e. C:\CumulusMX and FTP it there.

Bare in mind Unix/Linux environments are very picky about using upper/lower case folders/directories/filenames (i.e. they must be correct) whereas Windows couldn't care less. Also Windows uses Backward slash (i.e. C:\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxx) and Unix/Linux uses Forward slash (i.e. /etc/bin/xxxxx) so you may have to make changes to Cumulus.ini to make it pick up the files correctly (probably best to hand edit with a good editor, not notepad!!).
