<h1 class="topictitle1">Saving the Integrated File System using multiple devices for a single
save operation</h1>
<div><p>A traditional save to a single device produces one tape file on the tape
media. </p>
<div class="p">You can perform a save operation while using more than one media devices
simultaneously. Integrated File System data saved by a single SAV command
using multiple devices will be in a <em>parallel</em> save format. The data
is spread across the media devices. If you use Backup, Recovery and Media
Services (BRMS), the save format is also parallel.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Using a media definition
to save your Integrated File System data to a single device specified in a
*MEDDFN is the same as specifying that device on the SAV command. It is
not beneficial to use a *MEDDFN when saving to a single device. The data
is saved in serial format.</div>

<p>Once you create a media definition, a convenient way to save the entire
Integrated File System to multiple devices is to specify SAV DEV (/QSYS.LIB/Y.LIB/X.meddfn)
OBJ ((/*) (/QSYS.LIB *OMIT) (/QDLS *OMIT). </p>
<p>Backup Recovery Media Services/400 (BRMS) provides an easy to use interface
that allows you to perform parallel save operations without creating a media
definition. You specify which tape devices to use in parallel, and BRMS builds
and manages the media definition for you.</p>
