  Ein ?????????????? I have no idea why you see such behaviour. We power off
our test computer many times a day (it's in my sleep room and you know 2
computers on at the same time make a lot of noise and don't let me sleep
:))) All the data is recorded on file everyminute. There is no such thing as
data in RAM. The order is rdtool update whatever. Only the graphs are
generated on demand but based on that data. Maybe, if your computer was
turned off longer than 12 hours you wont see any data in the start page but
you surely will find it if you point to the 48 hr graph.

  The only time when the data was really lost was when you upgraded from
release 01 to release 02 without following the instructions :)

  Regards.
