I haven't seen in this thread (or I missed it) any comments about using
BACKUPSETS.

Has anyone tried that?
Does anyone know if the backupset is constructed in a way that overcomes any
of the problems with recreating zillions of small files?

Or do we need an image backup capability like the AIX client has to get past
that issue?

Signed,

Yes I know there's a problem but I'm as confused as everyone else....
