Checkpoint/Restart of Endpoint Protection

After down focusing the scope of Endpoint Protection scans, they still run for a few hours on many of my laptops and servers. Further-some laptops shut down abruptly-presumably as a result of intensive IO and CPU use. Consequently I cannot complete a Symantec scan.

I looked at the doc but could not find a way to checkpoint and restart a scan where it left off. I imagine there is a way of doing this-can anyone point me to a document on this issue

thanks
