I don't have access to those computers any more or have the original 360k data files. Can anyone help with this ? thanks jeff ID: 730518 ·

Each result file is linked to a file, and without an entry in that file, there is no way to tell BOINC that you have added new results to be uploaded. Re-creating those entires in that file will also do no good because each file is linked to a host ID, so it expects the same system that downloaded the file to also return the file. Bottom line is that without the entire \\BOINC tree, you may as well just discard the files and let them get reissued to new clients. ID: 730568 ·
