| [BOINC] Back up projects I might be having a brain freeze moment here, but is there any way you can set BOINC up to only crunch a second project when the primary project has run out of work?
For instance - if I crunch project A fulltime, but have project B attached and ready to download work, can I set it up so that if project A runs out of work ( as in a Berk day) project B will automatically kick in (but otherwise not run)?

But there is no way to set different BOINC preferences for different machines (both home machines) so if I did that for this machine, it would affect the resource allocation for the other machine, which I don't want to alter - wouldn't it?
I guess I could just call one machine a "work" machine even though it's not, and set different preferences that way ....

I use 4 different profiles myself. Default, home, work, and school. I don't go to school and I work from home  .
I use each profile for different things, and you can do both BOINC level profile (days cache, etc), and project level profiles. That works just fine for me.
