Mastering Iseries CDs, DVDs

Currently we master CDs and DVDs by saving libraries to tape while the
job is placed in a mastering state. We then read the tape file directly
and write it to a PC drive via a share where we just burn a copy of the
file to a CD or DVD. That file, on a CD or DVD, can be restored using
SAVLIB or SAVOBJ

The entire process runs well but the tape portion is a major chunk of
processing time. It all runs unattended so we don't normally notice the
time. However, once in a while we need to do it over and then it take
way longer than we would like.

Is it possible to do the SAVE process to a Savefile under the mastering
state then just write the savefile to PC share and burn a CD.

I know I can just go and try to do all this but I thought I would ask
before I write the code and procedures to try it.
