Auto Restore in NAV 2016 CU30 Database

Dear Sir,

I have posted few Sales Orders in NAV 2016 CU30 Database.

After that I have found nothing when I try to find them in the Posted Sales Invoice page. Even I have not found any entries in G/L Entry Table/Customer Ledger Table, etc....related to that Documents posting.

During further investigation, I have found that a old backup file has been restored in my database & replaced all the activity.
I just want to know how this auto backup restoration activity is executed without any SQL JOB/ User interaction ?

Is it possible ? o:)


Thank you.

    Nope. Computers do not act auto-magically. There is always some user action involved at some point, one way or another.

    Run this is SSMS: 
    SELECT DISTINCT TOP 20 destination_database_name, restore_date, [user_name], restore_type
FROM msdb.dbo.RestoreHistory 
ORDER BY restore_date DESC
    It will give you some insight about who and when.

    I agree.

    The change I had noticed within 10 minutes time gap. But if anyone had restored the database, I know it will take 40-60 minutes minimum...

    That's why I'm asking.... o:)

    The other possibility would be that you did not post the order, but deleted it instead :) Yet another possibility is that you have posted the order in different company, or maybe in completely different database (restored test copy of your production environment ?).

    It happens sometimes. I remember a case of a user who logged to a fresh test copy of our production database, closed client, went for lunch, came back, opened client and kept working as usual - not noticing that they had logon second time to the test environment. The next day raised a ticket that NAV is not working because theirs yesterday's work is not there.
