Re: Restoring a client after resetting a pc
What do you mean by reset? F@H will survive an unscheduled reboot, for example, with nothing worse than the possible loss of the current WUs.
If you reinstall the OS, you may be able to retain the work and settings.
If you reformat the user data disk, you will lose everything not returned, but can reinstall F@H with the same user name, team and passkey.
Completed and returned WUs are as safe as any computing store can be.
Or do you mean something else?
