I don't think that will work. Seems like saving the *UDFS also 'opens it up' and saves the internals so you can restore one at a time. Call me on this if I'm wrong.

However what you could do is create an image catalog with a *REALLYBIG virtual optical disk in it. Load it into an optical drive. Copy the stuff there.

At backup time you ONLY need to back up the *REALLYBIG optical disk on a SAVE 21 most likely as the data on it won't change. But security will be for the one single item in the IFS. Won't make any difference whatever to the SAVSECDTA.

Negatives I can think of are that the files will be under /QOPT/<vol id>
Performance as I recall isn't stellar. But if it's read only and perhaps even 'read maybe' do you care?

another option that may work.

CRTUDFS

create a UDFS
mount it
move your files to it
unmount it before the SAVSECTA
mount to use again.

the unmount may be unnecessary, i'm not sure about individual file authorities.  I've tested SAV/RST and you save the one UDFS object and during the restore it "says" it restored x number of objects

so in super simple terms is behaves like a mounted ZIP file(without compression, so more like a tar file)


more testing necessary.

I will bring up the idea about zipping all these files.  That has merit.
