RE: SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSER)

Everybody else has answered your question about saving the IFS directly
to tape.

Let me point out that if you save the entire IFS, you end up trying to
save everything in the library file system again along with any windows
shares the iSeries can see.

Thus, the normal command for saving everything in the IFS not saved by
some other method is:
SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/media-device-name.DEVD') OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB'
*OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT) ('/QNTC' *OMIT) UPDHST(*YES)
