  FWiW the SAVSAVFDTA command on each SAVF is generally considered 
/better/ than a SAVLIB or SAVOBJ [of course with SAVFDTA(*YES)] of 
the save files, in order to enable more direct recovery.  That is 
noted just in case that option of saving the save file data [with 
label & sequence number to sequential media] was unknown to anyone 
reading the quoted text.  As well there is virtual tape which can be 
used similarly to make media from which restore\recovery can be done 
directly.
