Just pointing out that those are most likely just the days the files were saved. There could still be some unlucky souls that ran computations for several days/weeks that happened to terminate on those days (and store the results). Those people could lose significantly more than a day and a half. On the flip side, HP jobs tend to be frequently checkpointed unless the storage cost is prohibitive for the type of job.

Is checkpointing really that common anymore. When I talked to my local HPC admins they gave me the impression that nobody does it anymore
