1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Backup on Mac OS X (Message 35707) Posted 17 Dec 2008 by old_user169640 Post: On the Boinc Mac install you are not given any service install options, it just asks you which drive you would like to install boinc and thats it ! Its not half as complex as the windows install
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Backup on Mac OS X (Message 35691) Posted 14 Dec 2008 by old_user169640 Post: Ok what I have done so far is 1. Shut down my boinc manager completely, even checked in the Mac task manager to see if it was still running. 2. Made a copy of my folder at \'/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data\' 3. But have not attempted a restore yet so I might try the restore with only a small workunit project working. I read in some references that when you restore that renaming the workunit with a \'0\' at the end is needed? 4. Will leave this thread open a little longer to see if a Mac Wizard comes along timmy
