To start with, the question would be "How?"

There is no support for USB in IBM i so you can't hang it directly from the system. You could hang it from a PC attached to the system but how would you get the data to the drive? You could do a backup to Virtual Tape and then FTP the virtual tape image to the PC and through that to the USB drive.

Clearly not practical in my estimation.

Hello,

Has anyone tried using a USB hard drive to do a backup/restore of V6R1? I
want to do this on a 9405-520.

Thanks
