Backup performance

["Jeff Crosby" <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This talk about backing up \QNTC\ directories leads me to ask a question
I've been thinking about.

To reduce the backup window on the iSeries, is there anyone out there who is
backing up to disk (*SAVF) and, when the system is brought back from a
restricted state, then transferring the *SAVF files to tape?

I was curious as to whether something like this reduces the backup window as
far as restricted state is concerned.  And I know what tape drive is used
makes a big difference.  Plus backing up to a *SAVF is a '1 library at a
time' thing.
