In trying to fix a local problem that had lead to Bionic not communicating for several days, I reset a project that was over 80% finished.

I now have a lot of data on disk and what appears to be a new project running with 2% done.

It would be a pitty to have waisted all that CPU time and to dump the data on disk.

Any ideas on how to recover and complete the origanal project?

If you backed up the project (or better, the entire BOINC folder) before resetting, then you can go back by restoring from the backup. If you didn't backup, then there's no way.

Thank-you for the info. All noted...
May be the warning line (below) should include the note that the project will be lost if it is not backed up.

Again, Thanks for the reply. Philip.

Paul's BOINC Documentation Site has lots of info on BOINC, <a href="http://boinc-doc.net/index.php"> here</a>, and v4.25 has help messages, provided by 'on mouse over.'
For Reset, it starts with: Delete all files and work, ....
