Backup Files

2008-05-29, 22:37

Hey. Im new to the mersenne prime buisness and i have a quick question. I was wondering where Prime95 saves the backup files every 30 minutes and what those files are called. I would like to copy those backup files periodically and put them on a disk seperate from my computer in case something bad happens.
thanks in advance

They are stored in the program directory with prime95 (or mprime if you use Linux). The name depends on the type of work being done. Consult readme.txt which tells about them under "FILE LIST".
