My apologies in advance for my ignorance of some of the systems operations
as I so rarely perform them. :)

If I want to do a SAVSYS at V7R3 (prior to OS upgrade), and save only the
system (not any 3rd party libraries) any idea how much space I need, and
can this be done to a thumb drive on a power 8 system?

I've looked around and using a save file doesn't appear to be the best
option for this, and I'm guessing that a DVD may not be big enough. No
tape drive on this system either. I have tested thumb drives and they seem
to work fine.

I also have seen about the PTFs required for thumb drives over 32GB that
are required.

Or, if I am barking up the wrong tree entirely, feel free to tell me that
as well.

Thanks.
