Re: SAVSYS to IMGCLG then to DVD on PC

You may certainly transfer the images to your PC with any method that works. Personally I use FTP (Binary mode please!) but that's just me.

Once on your PC if you want to make use of them to restore the system you'll of course need to burn them to plastic. To do that use ImgBurn ($free) as that seems to be the only one that consistently creates bootable DVDs from image catalog media.

If your systems were newer you could also make them available via NFS from another server but you cannot do that on an iSeries, it has to be a Power System with IBM i 7.1 for that to be available.

Hi Folks, our iSeries is going to be moved to a more secure building and will be lights out with no

operators onsite so I need a way to savsys to something other than tape or dvd and then I want

to save the data to a DVD on my PC. I'm saving to an IMGCLG fine but what's the proper way to

save that IMGCLG to my pc? Do I just drag and drop and if so what do I drag and drop...the IMGCLG

or the directory I created for the IMGCLG? IBM says this isn't supported but I figure I'm not

the only person who's ever had to do this. Your thoughts plz and any help appreciated.

Thanks, Frank
