My part of town had a power cut today at 1126. I do have a backup from 0630 this morning. Should I restore anyway, even though everything seems to be running normally, just in case something was corrupted? Or, is the software resilient enough to untidy shutdowns that I should leave it alone? Is there a way of telling if any data has been damaged? |

I\'ve had numerous power cuts over the years, some as short as seconds, one a couple of hours. Each time everything has just started up again OK. If the Show graphics display looks OK, and the dates etc on the left side are increasing, then it should be OK. The main symptom of a problem will be that the model crashes, and is written off by BOINC, and reported as an error. Bit of luck, having such a recent backup, but I don\'t think it\'s needed. |
