Er, hit send to quickly.
HPC is a big space where checkpointing is actually useful. An HPC
workload may take weeks to run to completion. If something fails
during the run, it's a huge waste of time. However, if you do
regularl checkpointing, a failure may only lose a few minutes of work
instead of the entire weeks worth of work.
The trick is to delete snapshot N-M after taking snapshot N (for a small
constant M).
