The target storage medium when copying save files depends on the type of archive in which files which are to be copied are stored:
Copying from a backup archive
In an SM environment, copying can only take place to storage levels S1 and S2.
In an SF environment, copying can take place to storage levels S1 and S2, to private disk, and to Net-Storage. The HSMS administrator can also copy to public disk.
When only the last save version is selected, copying can take place to storage level S1 both from a backup archive containing multiple save versions and from a backup archive with SINGLE-SVID structure.
When copying takes place from a backup archive containing multiple save versions to storage level S1, to public disk, or to private disk and not within the same archive, a separate save file is created for each save version of the original save file on the target medium.
Copying from a long-term archive
In an SM environment, copying can only take place to storage levels S1 and S2.
In an SF environment, copying can take place to storage levels S1 and S2 and to Net-Storage. The HSMS administrator can also copy to public disk.
Copying to private disk is not possible from a long-term archive.
When copying takes place from a long-term archive containing multiple save versions to storage level S1, private disk, public disk, or Net-Storage, a separate save file is created for each save version of the original save file on the target medium.
The COPY-SAVE-FILE statement only enables save files to be continued to magnetic tape cartridge.
Copying from a migration archive
Copying from migration archives can only take place to storage level S2.
