Re: CDRW solution for the AS/400?

["Jay Peasley" <jpeasley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The only rub is you can only save 640 meg per CD and you need a PC that is
attached via TCP/IP to the AS/400.

What I do is save a lib(s) (or file(s)) to a *SAVF. Then FTP (using binary
mode) the *SAVF to a PC, then burn the *SAVF on the PC to a CDRW.

To restore, just reverse the process (the *SAVF must be named on the AS/400
first) and it can be done on any AS/400 that is at the same version of
OS/400 as it was saved from. (wink wink, save to the lowest level)
