After my computer dying (harddrive failure) I had to reinstall Cumulus 192(1015) on a new machine. I had backups of my .ini files and alltimedata.txt but restarting the new installation overwrites these backups. How can I do a fresh start of Cumulus and keep/use backed up historic data?

TIA

Install Cumulus, then copy the 'data' folder from the old installation into the new installation. Then start Cumulus.

Thanks - fixed. I thought I had done that but I clearly hadn't!
