As Ib said, remember to make a safety copy of your partial image before 
starting every continued render.  I'll make his meaning even clearer.

Because if you actually do forget to put in the continue trace option 
when restarting... PoV-Ray will trash your partially-completed work and 
begin again from scratch.  And that is a grief you do not want to 
experience after hours or days of waiting. 

Here's hoping your gerbera survives ... you have designed a really suberb 
work!

Cheers,
    Brian.
