It's probably coincidental, but after installing 1034 (from 1033), I noticed some data had been corrupted. Some of my monthly and all-time records had changed. Most of the corruption was in the area of all time monthly hi and low dew points. But I also had some odd ones: the monthly high rain rate for February gave the January date, and October listed the August date.
I started to go through all the records and manually fix the anomalies, but then I remembered I have the data folder for Cumulus backed up, and the last backup was several weeks ago. I assume the easiest fix would be to shut down Cumulus, and overwrite some/most of the data folder from my backup drive to the Cumulus folder. Which files should I overwrite? All of them? I don't want to erase any data that was created after the backup was created.

Re: Build 1034 Question
The monthly all-time records are in monthlyalltime.ini. That should be the only file you need.

Re: Build 1034 Question
Thanks!
If I make a manual change to a monthly record that would also qualify as an all-time record, does the all-time record automatically adjust, or do I need to manually change both monthly and all-time?
