Re: save opt 21 to Tape Image Catalog

I don't believe you can do a SAVSYS to a tape image catalogue. Potentially that has been corrected.

You don't need to omit the directory with the image catalogue entries as IBM i will automatically mark all images in a loaded image catalogue so that they will NOT be saved.

Found this one out long long ago when saving an image catalog created on 'system A' to tape so we could restore it to 'system B'. Oddly both the sav and the rst took mere seconds. That should have been a clue. :-)

I've never attempted it, but it is possible to do a Full system save to a Tape Image Catalog?  (Omitting the IFS directory where the image catalog resides of course).

If the image catalog is setup and  loaded, will it still be available after going to a restricted state?
