PowerChute Personal Edition Hibernation Feature
(Windows XP / Windows 2000)

• Hibernation is a new kind of shutdown
• First it saves your PCs desktop state with all
  open files and documents as you left them. It
  does this by saving all of RAM to a large file on
  your hard disk.
• Then it powers down your computer.
• When power returns and the operating system
  starts up, the RAM is reloaded from the hard
  disk.
• The desktop and all open files and applications
  are then presented as they were before the
  shutdown occurred.
• This is better than file saving, prevents data
  corruption, and decreases time-to-recovery.
