Thank you for the explanation. Ideally I would like to "restore" the table with all indexes, triggers, etc. The way I understand it, is that I would then (after doing a test run) truncate the "good" table and Select from the "backup" table into this "good" table. Can I assume that when I truncate the table, the triggers and indexes will not be affected and therefore Selecting into will Restore?
