## CRIU (Checkpoint and Restore in Userspace)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An utility to checkpoint/restore tasks. Using this tool, you can freeze a
|
|
|
|
|
running application (or part of it) and checkpoint it to a hard drive as a
|
|
|
|
|
collection of files. You can then use the files to restore and run the
|
|
|
|
|
application from the point it was frozen at. The distinctive feature of the CRIU
|
|
|
|
|
project is that it is mainly implemented in user space.
|
|
