No. Just ignore it.
It\'s a leftover from a previous version.

Having said that, models can still fail, so backups a a very good idea.
But you have to menu/exit before doing the copying, otherwise the many files get out of sync during the long backup process.

Thanks OK will ignore it. Running version 5.08, I am backing up files after a menu/exit. Not a helpful message all the same

i had this myself the other day if you check out the boinc wiki it says its nothing to worry about


check your pc clock settings because if your clock is set to synchronise with the internet it can cause this problem

hope this helps
just found this on the cpdn message board
* Windows \'time sync\' messages have been mentioned recently as causing \'process exited with zero status\' crashes. Although these are relatively benign, it may be worth trying to reduce their frequency.
might have been my problem

time sync now disabled
