The other difficulty is if you don't restore the entire state in a single transaction. Imagine you have partial data restored in Table A but haven't updated Table B correspondingly. Now some other program that consumes Table A and Table B and doesn't have error handling will crash (or worse, mutate state in other weird ways).
