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.
