It\'s not a question of if but when. Fact: my pc\'s going to crash again sooner or later for one reason or another. What files of the project do I need to back up in order to continue with the work done? It ones crashed at 0.8% and the model got corrupted; I restarted from 0% with a newly downloaded model. Now I\'m at 3.9% with the Sulphur model after 10 days, it would be a waste of time and energy if I can\'t replace the model when it get corrupted again before finishing the first phase.
Thanks
Andy

It would be the best if you backup the whole BOINC-directory. If you use a packaging-tool like 7zip you can reduce the place needed extremely.

Necessary to stop the Model and exit boinc first, though. Otherwise the large number of files the Model keeps open would get out of sync.
