Suspending jobs (CTRL+Z) with a twist

Hi,

Say for example I'm doing a very large scp transfer (which I am) and I keep stopping it with CTRL+Z because other people on my network need the bandwidth too. I can restart it no problem with fg but only if I dont reboot or anything in between.

My question is... rather than stop/suspend a task with CTRL+Z can I somehow dump some data into a file than can be called after such a thing as reboot meaning my task can pick up where it left off? Did that make any sense lol...

Basically, can I stop a task and restart it after a reboot whilst maintaining the integrity of the data?

Thanks

There are some transfer managers that can do this, but I don't think that the SSH bundle has that capability.

OK thanks... I know that it can be done in specific cases but I was just wondering if generally this procedure could be done for theoretically *any* process.

I don't know how suspending jobs works but I thought it might be possible to to dump some data into a file to recover the process later... obviosuly it's not that simple :P
