I mean this motherboard has so many issues it's unreal. Corrupted BIOS chips, ordered some replacements and hoping that will end the issue I have where it takes 5-10 times of clearing the CMOS before it boots. 

Oh wow. that blows his issue out of the water.  You get a dud or you manage to break it by tinkering too hard? Can you update the BIOs/reflash or is the chip just a dud?

It's a common issue with the ROG Rampage V Extreme, to the point where most places that sell pre-programmed BIOS chips have it either as the best seller or in the top 5 it seems.

Well now it's folding but refusing me to have remote access despite having the exact same settings as it had before the reinstall... FFS... Does it ever end???

Firewall setting perhaps? If nothing else is there a SSH/VNC type thing you can use instead?  Not the ideal solution but it would probably work.

All the same as before, but I will have a poke about later. Got other things that need doing unfortunately

Fair enough. Priorities and all that. As long as it's working for the moment it's a backburner task.

So after some more playing it seems I cant edit the config from the advanced viewer, I have to edit the file directly, weird...

 

Anyway, all is sorted now... mostly... kinda...

 

Some weird behaviour going on but it is folding at full power so it will do

If you have PCs reasonably well dedicated to folding have you considered imaging for rapid fixing? or a bare metal VM with a folding image I saw a week back? If it keeps giving you issues it would be decently fast to redeploy rather than have to deal with a windows reinstall like now.

Yeah, thought about it, but generally this is left on for 3-6 months at a time. 

 

Generally it doesn't cause me issues, it's only when I go doing something stupid like updating lmfao.

You should know not to test on production servers! 😛

If I were doing this larger scale I'd probably be using a bare metal VM with a Linux folding distro I'd found/made and, like my raspberry pi, back up and attempt an update on every 1-3 months. If it updated happily I'd turn that into the new VM image and so on.  The BM VM partially because I've yet to learn about and use those and they seem a little faster for setup and redeploy, especially on differing hardware (none of that Intel vs AMD pickiness I figure).

Also, I always clone my windows drive 1-3 days before Patch Tuesday precisely because of update SNAFUs. They happen and they're ugly.

I think I will clone the drive, it's only a 128gb SSD, just keep a cold copy on the old drive and a new drive as the hot running drive. 

 

Would make things a whole lot easier.

The most basic and fully functional of backups. Takes 5 minutes tops to be back up and running. It's why I like it. Not sure how happy it would be restoring it, but it's something.

Hypothetically, 

 

you could just throw the drive in and off it goes. I mean as long as you don't have running work units on the go at the time of the clone.

Yep. That's why.  My concern is Main = M.2 NVMe vs backup = SATA  Unsure if it would get uppity about the driver differences.

Gotta make sure you've finished them and paused before then for sure. I bet the servers would get confused about duplicate jobs submitted a while apart.

Use a third party boot utility to run the clone from.  Then unplug the SATA of the spare drive.

 

If the install ever gives you an issue, just do the same in reverse, then boot off the NVME again, rather than booting from the spare.  This lets you always have a good and offline spare that won't get harmed by "special" Windows updates.

 

Or, you know…just ditch Winblows.

As stated before, will try ditching windows on that machine after the BOINC event, run Ubuntu on my laptop anyway so not a complete noob.

 

Any advice for the backup solution under Ubuntu?

I don't bother with backups. I just have all my machines running Ubuntu and have the latest Ubuntu iso written on a 120MB SSD in a USB3 enclosure. That makes re-installs extremely quick.

 

Boot from ISO, install OS, follow Build Guide with system-specific settings in the Build Logs for each system.

 

I use 120GB m.2 SATA boot disks on all my systems as it's less cable clutter and makes moving motherboards around easier. Just re-arranged most of my systems moving motherboards around with minimal downtime.

 

Biggest pain was having to rebuild the kernel modules for the ite87 drivers to get all the hardware monitoring working again.

 

I even have Windows 10 on a separate partition on most of the boot drives for shits and giggles. UEFI is a beautiful thing.

Interesting, The thing is I'm planning for this to be more than just folding, so a back up solution that takes little set up time is preferable for me.

Interesting, The thing is I'm planning for this to be more than just folding, so a back up solution that takes little set up time is preferable for me. 

LOL - yes, 120GB (don't have any 64GB ones left). Makes a world of difference using a SSD in a USB enclosure for OS installs. Have another for Win 10.

 

I just don't bother with system backups. I use text files for the system-specific stuff.

 

My Data that matters is on a hardware RAID 10 array on my daily driver which is rsynced daily to my FreeNAS which is rysnc'ed daily to a on-site Synology and another Synology off-site.

Dude, even didn't have that level of redundancy at one point with my backups. The Yo Dawg meme applies here for sure.

The SSD in USB, you can't do that without some trickery on W10 can you or did they finally allow USB Windows? Linux I know loves running off a toaster if you want, it's amusing but nice like that.

They do have windows10 OTG that is a live disk.

 

But in this case I believe he means the installation media.

I just download the latest Windows 10 media and select iso rather than USB and use Rufus to burn it to the SSD in the USB enclosure. So it's just for the install media not the OS. I can install & configure Win10 in about 20 minutes
