1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : explain please. (Message 56262) Posted 19 May 2017 by Francis Post: This is just a quickie from a noob - the faq links to an article about backing up in a piece about 'computation error' - but it links to an article that has been blocked by moderators. My first data-batch hit this after less than 5 mins into a 2+ day routine - a little disconcerting when it's your first batch. So: i] is it worth putting a different, working link into the faq? I've yet to dig for 'how to back up' [I've never had to do it for seti@home, so this is a new one for me]. ii] is there a way of prioritising smaller batches for users with old and slow computers like me [often run by old and slow people, also like me] so we don't get allocated the humungous ones? I don't mind three days, but... Cheers - F.
