Create a new GO SAVE option to save all the OS

Sometimes, when migrating a system to the cloud, we use a save-and-restore method for migration. We take Option 22 for the basic OS on Virtual Optical media to install using NFS and Option 23/21 on Virtual Tape for the data, because is faster.

But option 22 doesn't save all the OS software components. To upload the Virtual Tape media we need the TCP , FTP and desirable SFTP/SSH.

Sometimes we create our own Option 2x, sometimes we install the OS from the media.

It would be great to have this GO SAVE option as part of the OS.
