Becky,
If this is a save of your entire system, (system save) and you do any omits, you will not be able to recover.
 If you have a tape library or multiple drives, change your device defaults.
I cut my system save almost in 1/2 by using two devices instead of one.
 Parallel device resources:                                              
  Minimum resources  . . . . . . . . . . 2           1-32, *NONE, *AVAIL
  Maximum resources  . . . . . . . . . . 2           1-32, *AVAIL, *MIN
Paul

Years ago IBM recommended adding *SAVSYS & *SECDTA *USRASPAUT to the omit list to improve save performance.  Time for more research.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

   Issue PRTPRFINT for all profiles, and look at the percentages.
   Search that command name along with SAVSECDTA and\or SAVSYS in past discussions [here and discussion\articles elsewhere on the web] to see likely origin for save performance issue due to the amount of authorities being saved.

_i Print Profile Internals (PRTPRFINT) i_ Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL)
Threadsafe: No
The Print Profile Internals (PRTPRFINT) command allows you to print a report containing information on the number of entries contained in a user profile (*USRPRF) object. The number of entries in the user profile determines the size of the user profile.
Four types of entries can be found in a user profile:
Owned objects:
     For every object a user profile owns, an "owned objects" entry exists in that user's profile (*USRPRF).
Private authorities:
     For every private authority a user is granted, a "private authority" entry exists in that user's profile (*USRPRF).
Authorized objects:
     For every user that is granted a private authority to an object a profile owns, an "authorized object" entry exists in the object owner's profile (*USRPRF).
Primary group authorities:
     For every object for which a user is the primary group, a "primary group" entry exists in that user's profile (*USRPRF).
Each entry in the user profile causes the user profile (*USRPRF) object to grow.
