We did just this to reduce the amount of time because we were saving to a
7208 drive.  We've upgraded that drive now to where the time savings is
nowhere near significant.  But, we still do a save to separate save files
for each library because it's shown to be very convenient to do a restore -
we just restore from the save file instead of unloading and reloading the
tape.
