Yes, so long as the server is varied off during the save. The space
(physically) in QNTC is not really what you are after.  The QFPNWSSTG is the
space your after. In either event, the omits above a specifically omit QSYS
(saved by normal library saves) QDLS (saved by SAVDLO) and IBM  product
information in the directories (don't store anything there thinking it's
PRODUCTION instead of PRODUCT <vbg>)

No, they are automatically included.

Again, why QNTC? It's just a lump, a heap. And what about QFileSvr.400?
Without OS/2, I don't think (pretty sure) anything goes in here. That was
the space for OS/2. But the data actually showed on QFPNWSSTG, like the NT.
