Online restore operations for a database engine can be performed. A request to restore a database to a previous state can be received. Previously stored content of the database, such as snapshot stored prior to the previous state, can be identified along with log records describing changes to be made to the content prior to the previous state. State information in a query engine can be updated based on the previously stored content and log records so that queries can be processed based on the state information at the database restore to the previous state.

When a request to modify a data page in the copy of the database is received, a modified version of the data page may be stored as part of the copy of the database and the pointer updated to point to the modified version of the data page.
