What happens to all the transactions that happened between the checkpoint and the failure?

Okay, I suspect that can be programmed around, but that probably means everything has to be coded in a batch manner, with checkpoints between each batch. Then it's down to the users to spot problems as the data is fed into the system, but once that's happened, it's guaranteed to flow through the system.
