I'd make a list of entities I want to save, and save them manually, then load them again, it would be a bit of work, but would be probably finished without thinking much. Would work for most simple games as I wouldn't expect you to be saving too much stuff. Oh, of course you save the stuff server side not clientside.
You can first freeze the players, so no one creates new entities / modifies their values. Then fade to black, sounds/particles and what not that you dont want on reset will "run out" while it fades. Do magic repositioning while its black. Unload stuff that will be modified, load the old stuff, and allow the game to proceed from there.
