Paul: Thanks for that info. It looks like that would work for me. I tried to test the SAVRSTOBJ but I need some network attribute changes done as Jim pointed out. Not able to do this at this time. Since Rob pointed out that there is no limitations on the FTP, I'm going to try a test on that next. Will let you know how things turn out. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Eventually I'll find something that works for my time frame.

Don,
I just ran a SAVRSTLIB on a 242 gb library, 1 hour 12 minutes.
We usually use tape for anything large, much quicker.
I have a process that updates small control files from Production to R&D and DEV, runs twice a day, 7 AM and 12 noon, SAVRSTOBJ with SAVW, 81 files in 2 minutes.
The problem is that if there are any locks on the destination files, they are skipped.
We refresh the entire R&D and DEV environments as needed, via tape.
Delete the 18 libraries (1 hour), then restore from previous night's production save, (2 1/2 hours) 1 tb.
One issue is x-lib LF. The R&D and DEV libraries are different names, so for the x-lib LF to restore properly, we have to restore using the same name, then rename the libraries afterwards.
Everything is automated using AJS & BRMS.
Thanks
Paul

Don,
FTP and SAVRSTLIB will use the same communications devices and that is where the bottleneck might be, so I don't think you'll see a difference. If your set up for SAVRSTLIB the advantage is it will clean up after itself, and you don't have to manually save, send, restore. It just does it for you. There are a couple of configuration bits that need to happen to set it up however, and the changes to the network attributes (if needed) might require an IPL to change.

Paul: Do you have an idea of the transfer rate for SAVRSTLIB? My concern is FTP takes too long.
Rob: I had thought about running multiple FTP's at the same time. Is there any limitations to this? I can run this during off hours (from 2:00 am to 6:00 am) when system activity is very low.
