RE: Saving the IFS

A better possibility is to save the entire file system(s) to a save file,
then copy the save file to the PC hard drive.

Not a good idea IMO, there are lots of things that wont copy 
correctly;
/QOpenSys is case sensitive, windows is not so you'll mess up 
/QOpenSys.
There are lots of symlinks that wont copy. All your 
authorities, ownerships
and auditing values will be dropped. If you're looking for a way to
copy/save/backup the IFS for restore purposes that is a sure 
way to end up
with a mess.

Is there a single command which will copy the entire IFS onto 
a PC hard drive (as a backup)?  Would I need Client Access 
installed on the PC?
