What is the procedure to recover after an error using last backup? Simply overwriting the entire boinc directory isn\'t an option because I\'m attached to other projects.

I\'d assume that I have to restore the slot dir, overwrite the portion of clientstate.xml dealing with cpdn, and restore the cpdn project directory. Anything else necessary? If I screw up the debt figures in the client state (which are interdependant due to the normalization) will that cause problems?

It\'s a bit messy when several projects are involved.
The best advice I can give is to read this part of the BOINC Wiki.

Ok, that\'s certainly less complicated than what I was trying to do. I don\'t like that it requires you to run just cpdn until it\'s done, but it\'s better than losing half the wu. Thanks.
