Aaron,
Here is a quick and dirty - no warranty or guarantee implied. As is code.
User takes all risks - blah blah lawyer speak stuff.
You have to create a virtual optical device (you could use tape here as
well, but we wanted to be able to burn the image to a CD or DVD if needed).
CRTDEVOPT DEVD(MYVRTDEV)
RSRCNAME(*VRT)
TEXT('My Optical Virtual Device')
Then Create the image catalog
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(MYIMGCLG)
DIR(myimgclg)
TEXT('My Image Catalog')
AUT(*ALL)
As Vern has pointed out, your ADDIMGCLGE command has to specify correct
values. Please see the programs at;

I did some size testing on what was being saved to come with the image file
sizes I wanted to use. On our once a week save everything, I needed 2 DVD
sized images. On the daily - save only what has changes since the last save
I have it set for 1 DVD sized image. Yes - this means to recover data we
may need to load Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday's saves. It was a
design decision by the boss.

Would you be able to relay a sanitized version of the commands and their

there always seems to be a good number of steps involved and I haven't been
able to make sense of some of the steps (yet).
