Good evening!
I've already asked a similar question before.
The data in the /var/www/html/weewx folder has not been updated
The problem was solved by entering the commands:
wee_device --dump
wee_device --clear-memory

Now entering these commands does not help
The following messages are displayed:

What could be the problem?

You must have made a mistake in your weewx.conf file

Thanks for the prompting, John.
But I immediately have another question:
The Davis Vantage 2 Pro weather station is located at a remote location. It's been working there for the second year now. And I know for sure that no one has connected to it or made changes to the configuration file.
Where to look for the error?

It's coming from the vantage driver around line 1645 or so - looks like it's getting unexpected input.

 A google search for "weewx unknown archive type" found  two ancient threads here along the same lines:

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.

@Tom,

It is not the first time that weewx users are asking about the "Copied 0 files" log message appearing at every archive interval.

Since the copy procedures are done mostly after the first time reports are run,  why not logging these events  only when files are actually copied,   and forget  the "Copy 0 files" ( or change the log notification to debug)  in case no files are copied.

Good suggestion. Implemented in 0768bf4, to appear in V5.3.

Dear colleagues!
Thanks for the tips.
I will try to bring the weather station to the laboratory next week and study it in more detail.
I will write about the results of the check of the weather station.
