Unless you disabled the .povstate file, then, you are covered.
Using +c on the command line will always resume your render, no mather 
how it was interupted. At most, you'll loose the last render block that 
the was worked upon.
If you are rendering a photon using scene and you choose to save the 
photons to a file, they are saved before the first render block is even 
started. So, you can load them back, saving you the time required to 
shoot them.
