Use the editor in Cumulus - on the Edit menu. If you know the correct figures, you can enter them manually. To aid in this, you can look at the [[Alltimelog.txt]] file to find the previous values for the all-time records. Similar entries are logged to the diags files for the monthly highs and lows. You can also get the editor to scan the data logs to find the highs and lows from the files, click the Help button for details. | Use the editor in Cumulus - on the Edit menu.

Cumulus takes a backup of all the active data files when it starts up, and also at the start of the meteorological day (just after midnight for most users). The backups are kept in folders in the backup folder in the Cumulus installation. So an alternative method would be to find the latest backup from before the error occurred, and copy the alltime.txt and/or monthlyalltime.txt file from the backup to the Cumulus data folder. Do this with Cumulus stopped. | |||
