# Manual Checkpoint/Restore

For both CPU and GPU workloads, no additional configuration is required. Below is an example of a simple CPU workload that counts from 0 to 600, sleeping for 1 second between each count. By default, Cedana must be enabled to checkpoint SLURM jobs.

```bash
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=hello_world          # Job name
#SBATCH --output=hello_world.out        # Standard output log
#SBATCH --error=hello_world.err         # Standard error log
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00                 # Time limit (hh:mm:ss)
#SBATCH --nodes=1                       # Run on 1 node
#SBATCH --ntasks=1                      # Run 1 task
#SBATCH --export=CEDANA_ENABLE=1        # Enable cedana-slurm

echo "Starting counter job on $(hostname)..."

# Loop from 0 to 600
for i in {0..600}
do
    echo "Counter: $i"
    sleep 1
done

echo "Job finished successfully."
```

## Restore

To restore a job in SLURM, navigate to the [SLURM Checkpoints Page](https://ui.cedana.com/slurm/checkpoints), select the checkpoint, and restore it.
