Greetings Fellow-Earthlings,

My humble G4 AGP just had a complete nervous breakdown and the data for the four SETI tasks at hand have been irretrievably skewered in the process. I'm wondering if I can somehow retrieve the pertinent data from Berkeley once again and get them completed. Any directions please? I must add that I am no computer scientist so I would appreciate it if the wording was kept simple. Thank you for your attention.

Cheers.

If they are lost, they will simply time-out and be sent to someone else later. There is no way to retrieve them from the servers, but that's part of the functionality of the system to estimate the sometimes unreliable nature of handing out work to volunteer machines, which is why the deadlines are in place.

Thank You for your speedy response Ozzfan. Eh bien, I guess I'll just have to accept they are etherealed. It makes me feel like a bit of a dim wit but I may put my grey matter to work and figure out a way to back-up that data just in case my computer decides to do another HAL on me. All the very best to you.
