Griz,

Some things do act differently during a backup if you just bring it down 
to a restricted state and start backing up.  Mostly with things many shops 
do not have, like IASP's, etc.  So if you're using any of these, read up 
on them.

I would recommend doing a WRKCFGSTS *NWS and varying all of them off prior 
to steps to bring your system into a restricted state.  If you have any of 
these they may take some time to vary off.  Then again, it takes awhile to 
do a PWRDWNSYS on your i5 so why wouldn't it take awhile to do the 
equivalent on a Windows or Linux box.

You need to read the "Backup and Recovery Guide".  SAVSYS is explained 
there.
