Option 22 of OS/400 is called ObjectConnect.

It permits you to save from one system and concurrently restore to another 
system that is connected.

It supports commands like:

SAVRST
SAVRSTLIB
SAVRSTCHG
SAVRSTOBJ
SAVRSTDLO

IBM introduced this in V2R3 as a chargeable part of the system, and after 
nobody bought it, they made it free in about V3R7 or V4R1.
