I've been doing optical migration for customers for years now. I haven't
found anything quicker. Optical platters are just slow. Period.

So don't be surprised if no one can come up with anything.

It's a 3995, by the way.

Subject: Alternative to CPY for Optical

Hi,

I need a way to copy images from a 3595 Optical drive (think it's
3595...the model numbers do not stick in my head) to DASD.

I've been using they CPY command like this:

CPY OBJ('qopt/F0105A/*') TODIR('/newdir') SUBTREE(*ALL) REPLACE(*YES)

And this works, but it's really slow. It can take, literally, days to
copy a single platter of data.

Is there another method, even commercial, that someone can point me to,
that would allow me to perform this copy faster?

I've got something like 140 platters to copy and a small time window to
get it completed in.

Thanks!
