Oh yes, I definitely backed up the SDB and CONF files, along with the skins directory, as suggested in the tutorials on how to back up. I FTP them to another server for safe-keeping every few weeks. I probably should have mentioned that, but didn't think it was relevant to the issue I was having.
But on a happy note, it looks like the wee_device --dump did the trick! I guess the station's logger got corrupted somehow. I thought it was fine because I could retrieve all the data from it via the Davis software. But when I ran the dump command, it polled the logger and updated the SDB with all the missing data. I then ran the reports and all looked normal. I probably didn't need to run the clear-memory command afterwards, but the tutorial suggested doing it, so I did. No harm in clearing the data, now that it's been ingested into the database. Hope there weren't issues with duplicate records, but it looks normal from what I can tell.
