Dinis,

I would strongly strongly suggest that you make sure you save the RNG seed 
from each run.  If nothing else you can create a set of random seeds (say 
from a table) and then initialize the RNG sequentially with them at the 
start of each run.  You want to do this because you may find a particular 
run that is of interest you may want to rerun it to get further information 
from it.  If you do not save the seed this is not possible.
