    You can use the following commands to save and restore an IFS object to and from the save file.

    Save IFS objects to save file (SAVF):
    SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/libname.lib/savefilename.file')
    OBJ(('/home/admin/files/test1.txt') ('/home/admin/files/test2.txt'))

    Here, We use the Save object (SAV) command and specify the save file name with the fully qualified path in the DEV parameter, In the OBJ parameter specifies the files test1.txt and test2.txt to be saved in the save file specified in the DEV parameter.

    Restore IFS objects from the save file (SAVF) to the same IFS path from where it Saved:

    RST DEV('/qsys.lib/libname.lib/savefilename.file')
    OBJ(('/home/admin/files/test1.txt')
    ('/home/admin/files/test2.txt'))
    CRTPRNDIR(*YES)

    Here, We use the Restore object (RST) command and specify the save file name with the fully qualified path in the DEV parameter, In the OBJ parameter specifies the files test1.txt and test2.txt to be restored from the save file specified in the DEV parameter. Also, the CRTPRNDIR parameter is *YES so that it would create a parent folder if not already exist.

    Restore IFS objects from the save file (SAVF) to the different IFS path from where it Saved:
    RST DEV('/qsys.lib/libname.lib/savefilename.file')
    OBJ(('/home/admin/files/test1.txt' *INCLUDE
    '/home/admin/files/restore/test1.txt')
    ('/home/admin/files/test2.txt' *INCLUDE
    '/home/admin/files/newfolder/test2.txt'))
    CRTPRNDIR(*YES)
    Here, We use the Restore object (RST) command and specify the save file name with the fully qualified path in the DEV parameter, In the OBJ parameter specifies the files test1.txt and after *INCLUDE specified the new object name/path and test2.txt and after *INCLUDE specified the new object name/path to be restored from the save file specified in the DEV parameter. Also, the CRTPRNDIR parameter is *YES so that it would create a parent folder if not already exist.

    Note: The new object/path will be created by the command RST itself. So, no need for new folders to exist before running the RST command.
