I thought about virtual tape too but as described restoring would be a pain.

Has anyone ever saved to thumb drive and done a restore from it?

Save to virtual, start system operations again and then duptop to physical
tape.
But in times of VTL this is not needed any longer :)

The only way is to mount them on a different system and duptap to a real
tape then use that real tape.

If that was a virtual optical instead you could at least boot it from
the network. I personally find no value in doing a SAVSYS to a virtual
tape, so little that I wasn't even aware that it is allowed!!
