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. | 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).
