Hi,

I got one System that trashed two WorkUnits after considerable runtime due to System failure.
After that, I reverted to a functional Backup which resumed computation from an early stage of both WorkUnits, which run without problems so far.

The only Problem : the Host already reported the two WorkUnits that errored out before I could intervene.

Question : Will the System realize that a backup is rerunning and eventually change WorkUnit status again, or is it futile as the \"Computing Error\" has fixed the WorkUnit Status to \"Over\" ?

(the Host is sending its Trickles without any Error messages, thus I assume the server is still accepting them)

No. The work unit pages will show the first error received. BOINC doesn\'t really understand the concept of a backup - presumably because most BOINC projects have short work units that aren\'t worth backing up. CPDN has unusually long work units that are worth backing up.

Yes. Trickles and Zip file uploads will continue to be accepted by the server and credits awarded, as if there had never been a crash.

Cool, then I\'ll keep everything running, thanks for the quick Info :)

I detached by accident my host from CPDN (doing an unhappy \"experiment\" with BAM). I had 2 tasks in progress, both are marked now \"Over, Client detached\".
I restored the tasks from backup and I am trying now to continue them.
Question!
Is my attempt correct?
Is it possible to finish my tasks? Is it the same as restore after \"Client error, Compute error\"?
Will the project server accept the trickles etc.?

Yes.

Yes.

Trickle is sent without Error message, but I don\'t see this trickle at task\'s page.

-Edit-

Les, You were faster as me! :-) Thank You!

Please be patient. It sometimes takes a while for trickles to show up if the server is busy.

It is a deal! I will be patient. :-) Thank You again.
