Hi! I accidentally deleted my climateprediction.net WUs. Luckily, I had made a back-up from my C:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net -directory. Can I continue crunching from my back-up directory? I already tried to copy the back-up directory to C:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\, but BOINC does not recognize it. How can I continue crunching? |

When making a backup, you MUST copy the ENTIRE BOINC folder, complete with sub-folders. AFTER Exitng from BOINC. There are important files in several places, including in the BOINC folder itself. If you didn\'t do this, then the backup is useless. |

Yep, unfortunately you need the complete directory tree in place. There are a set of prerequisite state files ( similar to your windows registry) |
