 You must change your <a href="awstats_config.html#LogFile">LogFile</a> parameter to point to the old log file and run
 the update (or use the -logfile option on command line to overwrite <a href="awstats_config.html#LogFile">LogFile</a> parameter).
-The update process can only accept files in chronological order, so if you have already processed a recent file,
-you must before reset all your statistics (see next FAQ) and restart all the update process for all past log files

+The update process can only accept files in chronological order for a particular month, so if you
+have already processed a recent file and forgot to run update
+on a log file that contains older data, you must before reset all
+your statistics (see <a href="#FAQ-COM120">FAQ-COM120</a>) and restart all the update processes
+for all past log files and in chronological order.<br>
+However, there is a "tip" that allow you to rebuild only the month were you missed data:<br>
+Imagine we are on 5th of July 2003, all your statistics are up to date except for the 10th of
+April 2003 (you forgot to run the update process for this day, so there is no visit for this
+day). You can :<br>
+- Reset the statistics for April only (this means remove the file <i>awstats042003.[config.]txt</i>
+as explained in <a href="#FAQ-COM120">FAQ-COM120</a>),
+- Move the statistics history files for month after April (file <i>awstats052003.[config.]txt</i>,
+<i>awstats062003.[config.]txt</i>,...) into a temp directory (so that it is no more in DirData
+directory as if they were deleted).<br>
+- Run update process on all log files for April (in chronological order). AWStats does not
+complain about "too old record" because there is no history files in DirData directory
+that contains compiled data more recent than records into log you process.<br>
+- Moved back the month history files you saved into your DirData directory.<br>
+Your statistics are up to date and the missing days are no more missing.<br>
