What is the tidiest way to close things for a backup without losing any work - just exit BOINC?
I tried suspending the two projects I have running (BBC CCE and Einstein@Home), but suspending the BBC CCE resulted in an attempt to download a second Einstein@Home work unit, which then has got orphaned since I exited BOINC during the download - it seems the system thinks it was downloaded okay but it wasn't.

Suspend is not the same as No New Work. Suspend will stop processing, but will not stop the request of new work.

Ahhh ... I see, thanks.

I just decided to try the project's "Update" button, and happily the server responded by resending the orphaned work unit to me :-)
