No matter what direction you go from a physical media standpoint, one
bottleneck here is likely to be the sheer number of files. I find that
copying from the IFS to Windows, as an example, is often hamstrung by the
handshaking for each file. If you have a reasonably organized directory
structure (and enough extra disk space), you may want to consider ZIPping
your files up a chunk at a time and then copying the resultant ZIP files
off of the machine.
The jar utility in QShell works quite well for creating ZIP files. You
probably won't get much compression because you have images, not text, but
you may find it easier to manage the smaller amount of files.
How to tell what capacity limits there are for saving files (image files)
to a USB for V7R1.
I've read multiple docs (IBM and others) - some mention a 32gb limit
others
don't.
IBM doc
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?
lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20Removable%20Media%20on%20IBM%20i/page/
Attaching%20USB%20Flash%20Drives%20to%20IBM%20i
has a comment from user at end "For USB 3.0 devices the 32GB max capacity
restriction was removed with 7.2 PTF MF63610 and 7.3 PTF MF63611".
The current 7.1 to 7.2 ptf cross reference has no 7.1 version of MF63610.
We need to move 4.6TB of images (approx. 1 million) to diff kind of system
(unix or win) across the country and our network people won't let us xmit
that much. We did get approved to use USB..
Other option is to copy to local win...
