My computer recently got corrupted. I have to format the whole computer, which cleaned my LHC host credit. Is there any way of backing up host credit and results. |

I have a similar problem. I have a nasty reset buton on my case and once in a while it happens to reset my machine, and guess what !! After boot up everything is gone. It's a bad habbit this new boinc software has. It never happend to me before with seti@home classic. The boinc software need some overhauling to compete with the old stuff. Nasty situation. Lot's of work gone and now I have trouble attaching to the projects. Nasty nasty nasty. And messy. |

Totals for credit, etc. aren't stored locally - only the current results and checkpoints are held there. If you reattached to LHC@Home after reformatting then it will create a new host record for your computer with zero totals. The old one will continue to exist. Providing you haven't changed significant details during the rebuild of your machine you should be able to merge the hosts from 'Your Account | Computers'. Unreturned results are lost, though, but BOINC will reissue them elsewhere, so no work will be lost overall. Gaspode the UnDressed http://www.littlevale.co.uk |
