Specifically TurboStore 7x24 with ";ONLINE=END" for what you request, if
you want the sync point at the end.  There is also ";ONLINE=START"
which syncs before backing up any files.

In the END case, the file images are written to tape until the store is
complete, then it performs the sync point and writes the shadow logs to
the end of the backup (to roll the backup copy forward to the sync
point).  In the START case, as each file is stored, any shadow log data
associated with the file is written immediately after the file itself
(to roll the backup copy back to it's state at sync point).
