SAVSTG takes a complete (bit level) system snapshot, and expects
to restore that snapshot to essentially the same hardware
configuration.  It's usefull if you want to quickly save and
replace an entire disk configuration, but it is worthless to the
point of dangerous for daily backups.  You can't selectivley
restore (libraries or objects), and you could be extremely hard
pressed to restore to an alternate machine.
