If you have option 22 of OS/400 on the system (ObjectConnect), you can do
SAVRSTLIB *ALLUSR.  Be careful to omit QGPL and QUSRSYS, and do those by
hand.  This will run over whatever comm. connection you have if properly
configured on both systems, with no magnetic media involved.

This free option to OS/400 is one of those secrets that IBM never told you
about, because they want to keep the AS/400 a secret.
