# Dummy save

The dummy save performs the save command
without actually writing to magnetic media.

By omitting the t option, nothing is
written to a peripheral storage device.

This is one of the most
useful mechanisms for determining if file inconsistency errors or
other serious errors exist in the entire system, or in a particular
account.

## Example(s)

This example is equivalent to
a full dummy save, such as a file-save.

```
save (fd
```
This example is the equivalent to an account-save (dummy).

```
save (fdi
```
