savepoint
Game resume spot
A savepoint is a marked position in a video game that preserves progress, allowing a player to return there after failure rather than starting over: I died right before the savepoint.
In databases, a savepoint marks a position within a transaction that can be rolled back to without abandoning the entire operation.
