   What kind of rendering program is this that it doesn't even do
checkpoint saves periodically.?  Even one save per day would lose a
miniscule amount of rendering time compared to losing all work due to
someone tripping over the power cord or an extended power outage.

   Not that I think it lets Microsoft off the hook with its "gotta reboot
unless you run regedit" policy.
