Very good.  I am used to calling it the transaction journal, but I am 
very leery of any DBMS whose state cannot be uniquely recovered from the 
journal, or and earlier save, and the journal entries since.  And yes, 
it has been true for at least 15 years that some databases will allow 
you to commit transactions by journalling them in persistant memory.

For databases, make that there can only be one version of the database 
at any point in time. ;-)
