1. The "Copied 0 files" log entry is normal. Static files such as CSS files
are copied only the first time reports are run. Thereafter, they are nore
copied.

2. The "Unknown archive type" is more serious. We have seen these
occasionally through the years. Sometimes clearing the memory works, but
usually it does not. Another thing to try is pulling the logger out of the
console, then reseating it. It's also possible that the logger went bad. It
is not a problem with your weewx.conf file. This is a hardware problem.
