Brad:
If all you are saving is the LIC, OS, and LPPs then about 40Gb. I think that’s option 22 on the save menu, but It’s a *SAVSYS and *IBM save manually. That includes the temporarily applied PTFs. If you perm apply them ahead of time you’ll save some space, although we could not guess how much without looking.
QGPL and QUSRSYS are considered user libraries and are not saved in the aforementioned save operations.
Also remember that includes a fair piece of the IFS IBM uses as well.

Subject: Space required for SAVSYS
My apologies in advance for my ignorance of some of the systems operations
as I so rarely perform them. :)
If I want to do a SAVSYS at V7R3 (prior to OS upgrade), and save only the
system (not any 3rd party libraries) any idea how much space I need, and
can this be done to a thumb drive on a power 8 system?
I've looked around and using a save file doesn't appear to be the best
option for this, and I'm guessing that a DVD may not be big enough. No
tape drive on this system either. I have tested thumb drives and they seem
to work fine.
I also have seen about the PTFs required for thumb drives over 32GB that
are required.
Or, if I am barking up the wrong tree entirely, feel free to tell me that
as well.
Thanks.
