Is there a way to save periodically when using multistart from the global optimization toolbox.

I have to say that what I just encountered is not Matlab's fault, but I'm furious.

I have been running a large scale global optimization (with 'UseParallel' set to true) for 2 weeks.

I have an UPS, etc. on my computer, but Windows 8.1 Professional apparently wanted to update, and when I wasn't at the computer to answer the prompt about rebooting, just went ahead and did it without my permission.

I honestly cannot believe how this extremely poor implementation and default setting made its way into a "Professional" level OS.

Now, usually when I run optimization loops or write my own optimizer function or script, I save periodically just in case, so that I can start from where I left off if something occurs.

This time, however, I decided to just write an objective function and use MultiSearch.

My question is, is there any way to periodically save when using MultiSearch, so that in the event of a crash, a search can be restarted without losing all prior work?

If not, Mathworks really should add this functionality...

Thank you
