The simplest approach is to save to a savefile, on the AS/400, then save the
savefile to tape during the day. Do you have enough empty disk space to
accomplish this?
The command would be SAVLIB LIB(libname) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(savefile)
The save file will have to be created before you run this command.
To copy the savefile to tape use SAVSAVFDTA SAVF(savefile) DEV(TAPxx)

I am not that ambitious, yet.
I asked the question with the idea of backing up the AS/400 to this device
at night, possibly duplicating over WAN/internet to another box, and
spooling to tape during the day. The LPAR concept sounds good, although
wouldn't I have to buy another license of OS/400 to do it?
