Not really... Some have put a box around the already carved area and changed it to a zero depth or something like that but the machine must still go through it again.

This is where a UPS running on the machine would be a life saver.... Even a small one.... The trick is a wall wort power supply plugged into house power and a relay in the cover circuit so when the power goes out the open cover is activated as the UPS takes over power and keeps the computer running saving the project. A UPS would not run the cut motor very long.

My power went out this morning just like that. My power company has put remote switches on legs of the power lines. When they detect a tree laying on the wires getting a ground, they can turn off branches of the line for 10 seconds and see if the ground goes away. Hence finding the line with the tree on the wires quickly.
