Title: Message Tab results backup?
Post by: Tim Norton on August 28, 2010, 07:28:49 PM
Hi Fred

Had a problem today after a BSOD (was messing around doing Over Clock testing :))

i lost all my history info for all my machines - not the end of the world i know but...

I guess BT holds these in memory until its closed (properly!) - if my guess is correct could it say write them to disk/make a backup say once an hour?

I did not appear to loose any of the message info or settings when my pc crashed

It should be nearly impossible...

Every change is stored to disk at once.
There are 3 rotating copies in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks\history
At startup cvs is used, but if corrupt cvs1 is uses or cvs2.

So most likely another folder is / was used for storing the history.
