The "Automatic Restore" options within the Backup and Restore database settings are enabled by default, and it is recommended to leave this option enabled. The option should remain enabled throughout database upgrades, but if you havent checked in a while, it may be a good idea to double-check and verify that it is still enabled. This is because restoring from backup and integrating the journal file is the abbsolute best way of recovering from any type of data intgretity issue.

  • Restore last backup if database is damaged
  • Integrate last log if database is incomplete
