Just spare the whole BOINC folder, that's all. Then, after you did your format, make a fresh install of the same BOINC version. Once that is done, just copy the old folder right over the newly installed one, overwriting all files. That's all there is.

Chances are, you don't even have to do the install part. It usually works with just saving the BOINC folder. With the install part, it's just the more secure way.

PS: And by the way, it's BOINC, not bionc
