First off understand what you are doing: (BTW there are typos in your examples... Are you just copying what you really use, if so there might be an issue..)
Option 21 is a full backup including the OS, a bare metal back up if you will.
Option 23 saves all user data (meaning your stuff) but none of IBM's. They are meant for different things although the 21 save could be used in place of a 23 save if needed since it has everything the 23 save has and more.
As to the restore question, that have a great deal to do with how you do the restore. I guarantee that Larry Bolhuis, Pete Massiello, and I will all wind up with the same result, but we might do it a bit differently, depending on the methods used.
In the end we need to know more about what you are trying to do, OS levels at each side, and things like, will the IP addresses change, has the target box been built and just waiting for the customer data, many questions like that? (Also, that's why you hire guys who do this for a living to help you with the once in three-year migration. Saves time, money and effort)

Hi
Thanks all for the reply
A thing that i don't understand ..
Option 21 (menu save) do this:
SAVSYS
SAVLIB LIB(*NONSYS) ACCPTH(*YES)
SAVDLO DLO(*ALL) FLR(*ANY)
SAV OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT)
('/QDLS' *OMIT)) UPDHST(*YES)
Option 23 do this:
SAVSECDTA
SAVCFG
SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) ACCPTH(*YES)
SAVDLO DLO(*ALL) FLR(*ANY)
SAV OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT)
('/QIBM/ProData' *OMIT)
('/QDLS' *OMIT) UPDHST (*YES)
(QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData' *OMIT)) UPDHST(*YES)
In 22 option OMIT QIBM QOpenSys .. the thing that i don't understand is if i use option 21 when i restore , how the system don't restore QIBM QOpenSys ecc ecc ?
Instead if i would use option 23, QIBM QOpenSys ecc ecc are not saved at the origin ..
Thanks

Oggetto: RE: Migration data to new IBM i
I recently completed a similar migration.
My thoughts were similar, but separating and only saving/restoring user data got way too complicated and risky.
Either
save 21 / restore 21
or
using BRMS
Full system save / then recover your system.
