To create on disk (preferably stream rather than CKD) an image
of a tape suitable for transmission by FTP BINARY even to a
non-IBM system, and from there recreating the original tape
with all labels and data sets intact.
Good thought. The TSO TRANSMIT command can convert a DSS dump into an
unloaded format that can go on disk. I dunno if it can accept a tape
input.
To restore you would do a RECEIVE outputting to tape, and then restore.
Needs testing
