It is recommended to have MedeA JobServer and TaskServer running in the background. Windows provides a mechanism, called Services, to accomplish that. On Linux, these mechanisms are called daemons. You can ask for temporary administrative rights or have your administrator install MedeA for you. Without administrative rights, JobServer and TaskServer can be started manually as programs.
1.7.1. Configuration Files
Configuration files are not overwritten by any software update - this includes your license file license.txt, all .options files, and queuing system scripts generated from templateQUEUE.tcl.
Files installed by MedeA can be overwritten by an update, so refrain from modifications to the core architecture files and don’t create copies of Folder in MD/2.0/TaskServer/Tools
1.7.2. Backup
Exclude the temporary MD/2.0/TaskServer/Tasks directory from backups as this directory contains often large temporary files.
1.7.3. Hardware Failure
Restoring a backup to a new machine requires reimporting Jobs for the JobServer (to recreate the MDJobs database) and a new license for the GUI. Please contact Materials Design’s support team for this rare event.
