<h1 class="topictitle1">Organize save and restore data on optical devices</h1>
<div><p>This topic provides information about organizing save and restore
data on optical devices according to path name lengths, naming conventions,
and directory levels.</p>
<p>The save data on optical media is uniquely identified by a path name. This
path name has the form: /directory name/subdirectory name/../filename. You
may create and specify as many directory levels as is necessary to organize
your save data to suit your needs. If no directory levels are specified, the
save data file is placed in the root directory of the specified optical volume.</p>
<p>The optical path name may be up to 256 alphanumeric characters in length.
Optical volume names may be up to 32 alphanumeric characters in length. Some
caution is necessary when using long names. Many i5/OS™ save and restore displays, messages,
reports, output files, and object descriptions, support a maximum of 6 characters
for volume names, and 17 characters for path names. Longer names will appear
truncated in these instances. Additionally, some automated data management
software may not properly handle long volume names and long path names.</p>
<p><strong>Performing a save operation to optical storage</strong></p>
<div class="p">You can save the i5/OS library DEVLIB01 to the optical volume SRVOL1
that is contained in library device OPTMLB02. You do this by using the following
CL command: <pre>SAVLIB LIB(DEVLIB01) DEV(OPTMLB02) VOL(SRVOL1) (/DEVLIB01) </pre>
</div>
<p>An optical file containing the save data, with the name DEVLIB01, will
be created in the root directory of volume SRVOL1.</p>
