As expected, if an object list contains only one entry then only one save command will be used to backup the entry.

In release IBM i 6.1 and later, if If the object list contains only library entries and the save type is *FULL, only one save command will be used to backup all the entries.  If the object list contains only library entries, the save type is *CUML or *INCR and the last save date/time for all the libraries is the same, only one save command will be used to backup.

NOTE: In release IBM i 6.1 and 7.1, if If the library list only contains library entries and there are more than 300 libraries, the backup will use more than one save command.

...

NOTE: In release IBM i 7.2, to enable the Inc/Exc field, the following PTF or superseding PTF is required is 7.2 SI53306

NOTES:

  1. In release IBM i 7.1 and later, generic Generic libraries can be specified for the Name field in object lists.

  2. When running cumulative (*CUML) or incremental (*INCR) backups of an object list, a *FULL save of  the object list is required. If any of the libraries do not have a *FULL save, then *CUML and *INCR backups for all new libraries in the object list will be changed to *FULL backups.

  3. When an object list contains object entries and the object list is saved multiple times before a *FULL save is done of the library containing the objects, a recovery report (QP1ARCY) created with the Start Recovery using BRM (STRRCYBRM) command will include all of the saved items that were created by saving the object entries.  Once a *FULL save is done for the library that contains the objects, QP1ARCY will no longer include saved items that were created prior to the *FULL save.

  4. If native commands will be used to recover objects from saves that were done using *IBM or *ALLUSR object list entries, the native restore commands will fail with message CPF3717 if *IBM or *ALLUSR is specified for the Saved library (SAVLIB) parameter.  In order to use native restore commands in this case, *ANY must be specified for the SAVLIB parameter.  In addition, if save data for document library objects (DLO) or integrated file system (IFS) objects follow the library save data on the media, *REWIND must be specified for the End option (ENDOPT) parameter.
