As the subject leads to expect, this is probably a very stupid question, which is likely to be answered somewhere in the documentation or the list's archives, but I have not found it yet.
I'm currently experimenting with backup and restore procedures and have run into a slightly confusing problem: - I create an instance, operate on it and do a complete data backup. - I continue to work on the instance and eventually decide that something has gone wrong and that I need to revert to the previous backup's state. - I restore the backup and find that nothing has changed. Eh? - I create another instance, restore the backup there and find myself with precisely the data I expected. What happened? Did the database, after restoring the backup to the original instance, automatically run the available logs to bring the database up to the latest data? - I turn off autolog and create another log backup medium. - I perform some more operations on the database. - I do a log backup, in order to purge the active log. - I send the database into admin mode and remove the log backup medium, so that all log information since the original complete backup should be gone. - I restore the complete backup. Again, I get the latest data, not what was in the backup.
