| [BOINC] Moving BOINC data from Linux machine to Windows machine I'm currently running BOINC (WCG projects) on a linux machine. I am moving back to a Windows machine for a while and want to move all my data across to the new machine so that I don't lose work/my queued work.
Can I do this and if so, can somebody tell me exactly which files/directories I need to move from my linux installation - and where to put them in Windows?
Thanks! |

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you can move Linux data to a Windows machine. My best suggestion would be to set BOINC to stop receiving new tasks and let it finish what you have in your queue. Then just reattached to WCG with the Windows machine.
Hopefully someone with more Linux experience than me can offer some more help. |

Sure you can move the BOINC Data but it needs some advanced knowledge. If you're not comfortable, don't do it.
I won't go into details but here's the overview:
-When starting BOINC it should tell you where the Data directory is located.
-Modify client_state.xml to reference the projects windows executable
-copy the projects executable to the projects folder |

Thanks for the help but I decided to just leave my other machine to finish of current work, and reattach the new one to start afresh. Not sure how it's going to go on this laptop though as the fan kicks in pretty frequently.
While I'm here, what is considered "normal" cpu temps for a laptop? Mine's a dual core Intel (T2050 1.60 Ghz) and the temps are showing right now as 39 and 44 C but I've seen them go over 51 at times while crunching. At what temp should I be worried? |

I believe your 51C is the CPU temps not core temps. Use CoreTemp or Realtemp to check.
For reference my overclock 990x is running @70C. As long as your 15% away from TJ Max, then your okay. |

If your doing it this way, just backup the Datadir and migrate it to windows - its a method of preserving your hostid. |

Here's mine - using CoreTemp and HWMonitor. |

Install BOINC (dont attach a project). Copy over the datadir, then start. |
