I didn't know FaD could do that ,so the client thats acting as a server could then be copied in its entirety to my flash drive & flushed at home?
Could I then delete the flushed 'results' off the client at work so as to not send dup's?
Or is it more like DPAD with a single main results file that would need overwriting?.....though what would happen to the work done over the weekend?

One other issue ,the 3 work rigs only have 128MB RAM:roll: ,how much RAM does FaD use?

I know fad uses very little ram. I have it running on machines with 128 megs with no trouble at all and I know they are people sneakernetting it. I will get more details on it for you.

Seems you do it using the export and import commands
Here is a guide on how to do it
Hope this is of help.

Excellent,thanks
So once I've imported jobs (why can't they say WUs) to my main 'Q' work machine then I could get the other 2 rigs to grab jobs off it?

So how much RAM does FaD use?

On this machine think.exe is using 12,388k per instance.
( A 2.4p4 with 256 megs of ram running two instances )

A PC with at least 128MB memory, 10 MB of free disk space is the minimum specification to run THINK

And here's a how to guide on running think from a central q server
