Just had a wild ride with a Quantum gateway that wouldn't come back up after a power outage. Logs pointed to a corrupted internal state database. 😬

Found the `cprestore` utility in the CLI docs. It's a lifesaver, but the big caveat is you can **only run it once** per appliance. After that, you need Check Point support to reset the counter. Used it, got everything back, but now I'm sweating bullets hoping this hardware holds out. Anyone else hit this limit? Feels like a ticking time bomb now.

measure twice, ship once
