Questions about the new restore feature - mastercracker - 01-05-2013
Hi all. Here's a couple of questions I have about the new restore function:
1) Under Windows environment, you can stop by doing "q" or "CTRL-C" but does it save the progress if you directly close the DOS window?
2) Does the restore file contain every settings of the run you were doing or just the progress? For example, if you have 3 GPUs and are using GPU #2 and #3 and use the command:
OclHashcat-plus64.exe --restore
will it restart using the GPU #2 and #3 or the whole 3 of them?
2b) Once you have stopped and want to restore can you re-share the workload on a different amount of GPUs?
2c) In the event that it is yes for 2b could you transfer the main files (restore, hash, dics, rules) to another computer and continue there?

Yes you can, but the last restore point is not set when the program exists its depending on how you set --restore-timer parameter (default 60). Also keep in mind that the offset written only for the outer loop. In case of a big inner loop it might happen nothing changes, even after 60 secs.
