HELP with dayfile...

Post by bnwrx »

I unknowingly edited the "dayfile.txt" file with CSV'Ed, yesterday. I changed the date column to "mm-dd-yy" and saved it. Thought I was was just testing something :bash: !!. Anyway, when Cumulus opened this morning, it could not read that file because of the different date format. I had a backup of the "dayfile" and now have replaced the incorrect format, but my problem is Cumulus has not created a "dayfile" entry for yesterday. How do I get Cumulus to create an entry for yesterday?

Thanks

The easiest way is to 'rewind' using the latest backup set from before today (i.e. copy the files from the latest folder before today in 'backups' to the 'data' folder and start Cumulus)
