Newb question:

I'm testing out a pool I created in a private network and I see the miners have valid shares without a block being solved. The server had to go down for a few hours for maintenance. Now that the server is back up, are all of those valid shares lost or will they carryover with the new validated shares and count towards solving a block?

Thanks in advance!

Depends on the software ... and if it stores the shares somehow in some reliable transactional database or some other unreliable way

Though, the shares themselves have no affect at all, on future block finding, just on your accounting to pay out the miners.
