VMS Help  —  RMU72  Recover  Command Qualifiers, Until
    Until=date-time

    Use the Until qualifier to limit the recovery to those
    transactions in the journal file bearing a starting timestamp no
    later than the specified time. For example, suppose your database
    fails today, but you have reason to believe that something
    started to go wrong at noon yesterday. You might decide that you
    only want to restore the database to the state it was in as of
    noon yesterday. You could use the Until qualifier to specify that
    you only want to recover those transactions that have a timestamp
    of noon yesterday or earlier.

    If you do not specify the Until qualifier, all committed
    transactions in the .aij file will be applied to your database.
    If you specify the Until qualifier, but do not specify a date-
    time, the current time is the default.

    If the Until qualifier is specified with a recover-by-area
    operation, the operation terminates when either the specified
    time is reached in the transaction sequence or the specified
    storage areas become consistent with the other storage areas;
    whichever condition occurs first.
