RE: SAVLIB to FTP where files > 1tb

["Michael Bolland" <Michael.Bolland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yeah I'm afraid it's just a few very very large files (more than 1000
gig each)

Thanks

Mike

 Compress your save files.  Use DTACPR(*MEDIUM) when creating them.  For
database objects you can potentially see an 80+% reduction in SAVF size.

Are your individual files over a TB or just the total?  If the total,
then
try multiple smaller saves.
Do all of them change each day?  If not, have you tried saving just the
changed objects?
