Both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX create a copy of each of the logs in the backup folder, both at end of day rollover, and when the software is (re-)started. If the corrupted file in 'data' folder is a log holding extremes (not the detailed log created for each month nor 'today.ini'), then the easiest way to remove false extremes recorded recently is to to overwrite the current file with the one from the most recent back-up. Since 'today.ini' is updated very frequently (every time Cumulus interogates your weather station), it is not advised that you overwrite that file, unless you are able to do a rewind as described in [[#On_restarting_Cumulus.2C_it_did_not_successfully_read_all_data_from_when_it_last_ran|earlier]] answer. If you were to use the backup folder copy of the detailed log, you would lose all of the stored values since the backup, so again only do that in a rewind context where all the files from the backup are overwriting those in data folder, and you simply want to copy in what is still in any station logging memory. | Both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX create a copy of each of the logs in the backup folder, both at end of day rollover, and when the software is (re-)started.

Cumulus 1 provides editors - go to Edit menu and pick the relevant extremes file, the either type over the figures that you want to change or use the buttons that load the more detailed log files and then figures from them can be copied into extreme file. There is an option (in the view menu) to read the latest detailed log for the current (or past) month, but there is no built in editor for those files. | {{Version badge 1}}Cumulus 1 provides editors - go to Edit menu and pick the relevant extremes file, the either type over the figures that you want to change or use the buttons that load the more detailed log files and then figures from them can be copied into extreme file.
