If i do the reeboot proces self then this look like this
before os shutdown i turn LAN off stop FB process copy database to hard disk. After reeboot i copy database back to ram disk and start FB and LAN.

I have not hard failture then i only test this scenario
i acctivate shadow (and recreate new one) and i am back to normal configuration
