Restore Points

Skip After the Target

Log records after the target stay out of the restored state.

highlighted = computed this step

Skip after the target

A later record may exist, but it is not part of this restore point.

Show the skipped record

The compiler skips 1 record. Its position is 3.

Backup and restore-point examples are tiny finite replay models; cloud products, backup strategy, RPO/RTO, encryption, compliance, performance, and runbooks are out of scope.
