Somehow my dual-processor computer got turned off, wrecking one of the CP models. That model was replaced by a new one when I restarted BOINC. I foolishly tried to do a restore because both models were at 40%. It didn\'t work as I expected. Now one model is at 65%, and the other processor says it is working but it never sends trickles. Meanwhile I am supposed to have a different model running according to my account details, but I overwrote it at the restore. I dare not try update or reset because I am afraid of losing the good model. Please help!

Well, when you complete a WU, the client notifies the server immediately or as soon as it can of the outcome. This almost tends to happen quickly so you can get and start crunching a new WU.
Bad things happen if you restore from a backup when the server has already been notified of the current WU state. Worst case scenario is that the results and trickles get rejected

Well, yes, bad things have happened and I've learned my lesson!
I didn't think I had completed a wu, you see. It was at 40% and running. It's now marked client error, so I suppose it probably would have been valid if I had not had the machine turned off. :(
Is there anything I can do now to resolve the situation? Both processors are running wus apparently.
What exactly does update do? and what does reset do?
Thanks.
