As the title says, my results show \"Client Error\" but I am still getting credits.

Should I restart?

Many thanks,

David

Rather than dig into all of the models on all of your computers, I\'ll start by being general.

If one has been making backups as recommended, and a model has been restored after a crash, there will be a permanent \'error\' listed on the server for that model.

This is because BOINC was written for short run work units, where it\'s not necessary to backup, and in some cases there isn\'t time to keep restoring.
So it wasn\'t envisaged that there would be a need to allow for the messages to be overwritten by new messages. It may even be part of the many things setup to prevent cheating on the other projects.

But these \'labels\' on your models are only for you to look at. They\'re not used by the researchers, who have their own programs for looking at the database of results.
So just keep crunching; your data will be uploaded and stored OK.

If this doesn\'t answer your question, please ask again.
