A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment determine, after a restore of a version of an object, where to begin applying changes from a change log to the object based on an identification in the saved version of the object. When a save command for an object is received, an identification of the change log entry associated with the save command is stored in the saved version of the object. Changes to the object then continue to be logged to the change log. After the saved version of the object is restored, the identification in the saved version of the object is used to find the change log entry at which to start applying changes from the change log to the object. In this way, the point in the change log at which to start applying changes to the object may be determined based on the saved version of the object. In an embodiment, this allows the object to continue to be accessed while the save operation is performed. Further, this prevents confusion as to which starting point in the change log to use when multiple save operations have been performed.
