    Oh Goddess of the Gigahurts:

    You can suspend the tasks, reboot and restart them without loss of data.

    A power outage is not a suspend task and reboot, as ColinT suggested.
    But ya, that sucks!

    It is a bit annoying (to put it mildly ) that there is no checkpointing - especially when there are WUs coming out that take half a day (or longer)...
