    Abstract: An interface for requesting, and technique for generation of, a backup of a past state of a database table are provided. Changes made to a database table are accumulated, in durable storage, and snapshots of partitions of the table are obtained. The accumulated changes and the successive partition snapshots are used to generate a past state of the database at any point in time across a continuum between successive snapshots. Although each partition of the table may have a snapshot that was generated at a time different from when other partition snapshots were generated, changes from respective change logs may be selectively log-applied to distinct partitions of a table to generate backup in the past of the entire table at common point-in-time across partitions.
