Whilst a savevg is great for Disaster Recovery purposes, and
can be used to grab single files from the savevg for restore purposes, I really prefer considering requirements for backup using an intelligent backup tool, ideally aware of incremental forever methodology.
Now we don't all have pots of cash to pay for TSM (or whatever enterprise software you may use) or this may be a test system, but there are options.
Checkout Burp:
BURP - BackUp and Restore Program
Also, google Bacula and Amanda, bith a bit trickier to setup than Burp.
A good write-up on Burp in this months Admin Magazine (UK) which you can get from waterstones/wh smith and the like.

(Cmd) help
at
cd
connect-and-wait
edit
exit
get
help
info
ls
lsl
mirror
mkdir
open
put
rename
rm
rmtree
Further help is provided for each command:
(Cmd) help open
Usage: open LOCATION
Open a new location.
The location may be any URL supported by Bazaar.
(Cmd) exit
