A restore session may be terminated either with an abort or a commit command. When aborted, all restored devices are brought back to pre-session levels. When committed, all restored devices remain at the last target of the session.
A commit does not remove any forward or reverse incremental data from the Assure MIMIX for AIX time line which allows for a subsequent restore to a time after the committed target, if necessary. In fact, the restore itself is included in the time line which allows it to be undone.
