Minucci,

That was a rather cryptic reply, but what it boils down to is, if CEP2 is for instance on the 3rd job of 16 in a task, it needs quite a few hours before it will save progress again at end of that segment. It wont do a save periodically as that would mean 1Gigabyte and more of a model in progress being written to disk which would be noticeable to the user. Hybernating the system instead of power down with the "Leave Application in Memory when suspended", LAIM for short, keeps the model in memory when BOINC is told to pause and also when the system is hibernated [which uses no power]. When powering up, the task will continue exactly where it was paused.

This is one of the reasons why CEP2 is an opt-in project. It's really aimed at machines that are on more hours a day, so it can manage to get passed the heavy/long running sections in a task [there are 2 or 3].

Thank you all. I will check those options, try them at night and post the results tomorrow.

Thought I had replied earlier, but I must have hit just the preview button. Thank you all. It has nearly completed the task since I avoided shutting down the system. Instead I just suspended it. It has not restarted from zero anymore. Cheers!
