See related discussion [here](https://discourse.pymc.io/t/resuming-sampling-from-a-previous-trace/11245/5), [here](https://discourse.pymc.io/t/saving-intermediate-results-using-mcmc-in-pymc4/9938/4), and [here](https://discourse.pymc.io/t/saving-intermediate-traces/3313/5). I recommend looking at [GitHub - michaelosthege/mcbackend: A backend for storing MCMC draws.](https://github.com/michaelosthege/mcbackend) written by @michaelosthege .
