There is one exception to the restoration of data – the value of the next transaction number. To
avoid a possibility of this being reset to a lower number than has already been used, a check will
be made that it is not lower than the pre-restore value. If it is, the pre-restore value will be
retained. In either case, 1000 will be added to the number.
