Hi everyone,
I've been running a project since April, and it has just reached 95% recently. But my files of the project has erased as a result of virus disinfection. I've been waiting for months to see it finished. And now, it starts from the beginning. But I have a backup of these files from September, when the project was %60 completed. Should I restore these files and continue as if it just reached 60%, would there be a problem due to computing the 35% part again? Or I just have to download a new one, but if so, the incompleted project would be a rubbish for evaluation?

Bad luck with the virus problem, but well done for taking a backup.

If you restore the backup, the CPDN servers will accept any recomputed work. The BOINC server software will mark the model as 'client detached', but this doesn't matter: trickles and Zip files will be accepted as normal.
