- When you use option 23 from the GO SAVE command menu, the default is to place your system in a restricted state. If you choose the prompting option, you can cancel the display that puts your system in a restricted state.

- Important: For procedures where the system does not require a restricted state, you must ensure that the system can get the locks necessary to save the information. You should put your system in a restricted state whenever you save multiple libraries, documents, or directories, unless you use the save-while-active function.

- Network server storage spaces can be linked to the following network server descriptions: *IXSVR, *ISCSI, and *GUEST NWSD. You can use the save-while-active function when the disk is linked to *ISCSI and *GUEST NWSD, but not when the disk is linked to *IXSVR.
