There are now some other projects with fairly long tasks that would also benefit. However, as far as I know nobody has yet thought of a way to make BOINC completely exit from itself (ie stop running completely) but still remain active to back itself up. It would have to be done by BOINC itself.

[code]net stop BOINC
backup
net start BOINC[/code]

[code]sc stop BOINC
backup
sc start BOINC[/code]

Before Christmas we were discussing with Milo, one of the CPDN programmers, whether it\'s possible to get rid of at least some of these phrases that mislead lots of our members. Now that the holidays are over we\'ll need to restart this discussion. The problem is that this stuff is built into the BOINC-provided web pages because most projects need it all.

To maximise your chances of completing the model, have a look at the CPDN README collections. There\'s a link in my signature. It\'s very useful to select a backup method from the collection so that if your model does crash you can restore and continue it.

• their systems
  
• BOINC
  
• CPDN
  

or the ones that do a backup don\'t stop CPDN... and then have a crash of the model...

That part of the software is used by other projects, but here the info is fairly meaningless. Just ignore it. The only thing of use on that page is the list of other models running, if YOU start to have a problem with yours and you want to see how others are doing.

This matter has been mentioned a lot of times, and you may be able to find these posts by using the search option at the top of this page if you want more information.
