Yes it does. And you are right, it's definitely important to have. Do you feel it's not checkpointing often enough? ID: 71 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

At one of my newer hosts I need up to an hour to reach the next checkpoint. It's not necessary to have a checkpoint every minute or so, but It would be fine to have one every 15 Minutes.

Ok. I can see how some of the longer running work units might need to checkpoint more often. I will get that implemented in the next several days. Thanks! ID: 74 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
