My hard drive failed today, and took the last two results with it. I managed to get my computer up using some backups, but they didn't contain the BOINC/e@h information. So I downloaded and reinstalled BOINC but I got a new ID for my computer. Everything seems back to normal, but I have to questions:
- Can I transfer the old computer ID to my BOINC directory? I found a three files that have the new ID. Can I just paste my ID there? NEVER MIND, found the solution for this one.
- The two lost results are going to timeout sometime next month. Anything I can do about it?
Thanks!
P.S.: Running linux here, in case it matters
Go to the web page to view your computers. Select the 'new' host and use the 'merge' function to merge it with the 'old' host. Then do 'update project' on your machine, and it will get back the results which have been lost.
