I was chomping away quite merrily when a gremlin killed my main XP drive so I set up another (with the idea that the first may never get fixed) and started Boinc_Seti on that...

Now I have rebuilt the first disk enough to see and grab files meaning there are most likely 3.5 WUs still in time and waiting to be crunched.

Should I just kill them or is there a way to copy them across into the new setup?

Copying them across is fairly complicated, and may not work at all. In this case I would probably just let them get recycled.

Indeed. If you did want to try it... you'd have to clone your old host ID, copy the workunit files over, and tell Boinc/S@H that those workunits are there.

All that would be done in the XML... and would be icky. Just let the units die unless you have a lot of time to devote to such a thing. :-)

Thanks guys. Shall say farewell to them... and welcome back to 5 years of old e.mails I thought I'd lost on the damaged disk...

Backing up like mad today... nothing like fixing the roof after it has rained :)
