Another question is why a SAVSYS must be done in restricted state in
the first place.  We can save Security Data, Configuration Data
surely the most changed parts of the system.  What's so magical about
QSYS &c that a snapshot can't be taken while it's running?

I still don't know why IBM can't incorporate a SAVSYS process in an IPL ...

IPL to a certain point, and then while still in a restrictive state call the
BU program specified in some new system value. The BU process would run
SAVSYS and whatever else the user wanted to do in an unattended restrictive
state, then when the process ends, continue with starting up the system
using the QSTRUPPGM system value.

I seems so simple to me... Does anyone care to speculate on why this
presents such a technological challenge to IBM?
