so, how does it work now? Because, I couldn't find any documentation

It would be nice if there was a simple HOWTO to create a checkpoint
enabled job. Or is there a best practices guide for it?

The Condor documentation covers checkpointing extensively:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.3/2_4Road_map_Running.html#SECTION00341100000000000000

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.3/4_2Condor_s_Checkpoint.html 

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.3/condor_compile.html

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.0/3_9Setting_up.html#SECTION00493000000000000000

Finally, the condor_compile script is very straight-forward. I'd encourage you to read it, and the ld script in the lib/ directory of Condor. It should give you a good understanding of how exactly linking for checkpointing works in Condor.

We lost several days worth of work due to a bad memory board on a
server. Don't want this to happen again...
