Re: Run SAVRSTLIIB to same machine

Using the SAVRST command is going to accomplish(if you could get working 
intra-system) the same thing as the save file method

the SAVRST commands acutally save the objects to a save file then transmit 
that to the remot system the perform the restore.
So I guess actually you would endup with one more copy of the savefile if 
you used SAVRST, one to save and one to restore.

If you want to save some space while the save files are on the system use 
the DTACPR parm on the savlib command:

<help> 
                   Data compression (DTACPR) - Help
   *YES
     If the save is to tape and the target device supports compression,
     hardware compression is performed.  If compression is not supported,
     or if the save data is written to optical media or to a save file,
     software compression is performed.  Low software compression is used
     for all devices except optical DVD, which uses medium software 
compression.
