RE: Save System question

And I can tell you that it does an AWESOME job. Used it last weekend. Setup
a PC at work as the System Console (would probably swap this out with a
terminal during an "on the spot upgrade" just to be safe) with PC/Anywhere
running on it and dialed in from home and fired Neil's SAVALL off - did a
RCLSTG and the complete Save deal and didn't have to drive in and twiddle my
thumbs... Neil has it set up to allow for a 24 hours delay but I needed a
longer time so I just dialed in at that time and started it.

Take Neil up on this, it is a keeper !

I have a "SAVALL" program to do this, along with options to RCLSTG and
RCLDLO, and a SIGNOFF or optionally an IPL when finished.
It assumes the backup will NOT require a tape change to continue (takes
default to Inquiry messages so it won't hang half way - although you can
change that if you plan to have someone change the tapes).

If anyone is interested in obtaining a copy, email me PRIVATELY !

You could write a CL program to do this.  Here's a basic outline:

DLYJOB until you want it to start.
ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED to go to restricted state.
SAVSYS to save the system.
SAVLIB *NONSYS to save all non-system libs.
SAVDLO to save the QDLS file system.
SAV to save any other file systems you may have in the IFS.
SIGNOFF
