IIRC, you can create both virtual tape and virtual optical drives that can
be the target of a SAVLIB command.

Then it's a simple matter of archiving the resulting IFS stream file to
your PC and/or cloud storage.

I have a JS-12 on v 7.2 that I plan to retire. This guy is the end of
the line for many libraries that I have carried along for too long. I
have a new Power 9 9009 41A v 7.4 that has plenty of space but there is
really no need to move these libraries because I can't remember when
last used them. I would like to retain my status as a packrat so I need
a suggestion on how best to save these libraries so they can be restored
if necessary but not taking up valuable space on the IBM i.

Tape is not an option because the tape drive for the JS-12 (external) is
dead. So, I thought saving each library as a save file (as tedious as
that might be) and then pushing them over to a share somewhere would be
the best option. Can you think of a better way to handle it?
