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)
