Re: savsys to ubs thumb drive

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes you can.   You need to format the USB on the system and it shows up as an optical drive.  Search for RDX and USB.  IBM has tech docs on how to do it.   

On caution:   Slow by comparison to other save methods.    

We use USB to move image catalogs all the time.
