Thanks mate, worked a treat! Off and running with my old models. Cheers, Ross
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : delete unused computer from account (Message 28544) Posted 9 May 2007 by old_user221978 Post: If you go to the project READMEs through my signature, in the README about avoiding model crashes item #1 is Les\'s easy backup & restore method. If you want a more sophisticated method, there\'s a README just about backups. Thanks mate, worked a treat! Off and running with my old models at 18% of completion in four months. At this rate it will take over two years to finish even with a current model PC. That\'s some model! Good thing I know how to back it up now. Thanks again. Ross.

The only place that a model exists, is on your computer, as a \'work in progress\'. G\'day again, Boy you\'re fast! Do have all the data as I installed windows on a separate hard drive when rebuilding the computer. X\"\\Program Fils\\BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net\\ and a directory name that matches the original workunit name from my earlier model. Contains directories such as \'datain, dataout, jobs and tmp\' Do I just copy these directories across to the new/active directory on my boot drive? Is there much else to do? Thanks for your help to date. Cheers, Ross.
4) Questions and Answers : Getting started : delete unused computer from account (Message 28525) Posted 7 May 2007 by old_user221978 Post: Are the models for those 2 tasks still in your Tasks tab? If not, then there\'s no way to get them back. Hi and thanks for replying. No the models are not in the tasks tab. They never showed up when I re-installed BOINC (a slightly later version 5.8.16). I\'ve deleted the newer ones only to have them replaced with other new ones (both before and after I merged my computers). The original tasks and the new running ones all show up with green text under \'Time reported or deadline\' and have a \'Client State\' as New. I have a dual processor and BOINC gives me two tasks every download. Are you sure there\'s no way to get them back? I\'ve watched the models grow ever so slowly over months and would rather like to see them finish. Regards, Ross.

BOINC assigned me two new tasks and I aborted them and merged my computer (as you have suggested below). Problem is that the next time I was awarded two new tasks and the old ones are still sitting there not ticking over. Aborted the two new tasks and ended up with six tasks, two of them I want to run. Under \'Projects\' clicked on \'Update\' and still have no tasks in the \'tasks\' pane. Don\'t want to press the \'Reset Project\' or \'Detach\' buttons as I\'m afraid they will kill the work done to date. \'Update gives me a \'Communication deferred\' countdown. How do I get my Windows PC to connect to those dormant tasks? I would appreciate your help. This is the results from \'Your Account\' and \'Computers\' The last two tasks are the ones I would like to get back on board.
