Re: Run SAVRSTLIIB to same machine

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bryan

From my observations it does not save the entire library prior to 
transmission, therefore the storage required is (presumably) lower 
than what would be required to do a fulll save of the library and 
then to restore it. From what I have seen it starts to save to a sav 
file and then opens a connection to send that file to the remote 
system. Once the connection is open on the remote system it commences 
the restore - you can see the objects being progressively restored as 
the save file data arrives. One thing I haven't looked at however is 
what the space is allocated to the save file so it may well be that 
you have a point.

It would also presumably be faster as the restore operation is 
started much earlier and this was part of my reasoning for looking 
into this method.
