RE: NT & AS/400 backups

SAV commands have limitations, last time I tried that with 2 AS/400,
i.e. I set up an NFS server on one of them, mounted a directory from the
server AS/400 on the client and issued SAV to tape. It failed. I don't
remember the exact message, but it made me conclude this type of  SAV
was not supported. The OS level was 3.7.
