Aptible operations: logs only exist for active resources, and restores create new databases

Export operation logs before deprovisioning a database; you cannot audit them afterwards. Remember reload restarts a database in place while restore provisions a fresh one; plan connection strings accordingly. Replicate and reload are distinct operations with different downtime profiles.

Context: Official docs (Aptible operations): documents that operation logs are retained only for active resources (deprovisioned resources lose their logs), that operations include backups, restores, reloads, and replicates, and that a restore creates a new database rather than overwriting in place.
