RE: BRMS backup window increasing due to QUSRSYS/QEZJOBLOG

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1) Do you have one outq in your SPFILARC library, or do you mirror all the outqs?
2) Are you only saving spoolfiles from SPFILARC library, not from any other library?
3) After you clear the spoolfiles in  SPFILARC, at this point you have 0 spoolfiles on your system, correct?

Interesting concept, you have spoolfiles saved if you need them, also keeps the number of jobs and spoolfiles low, which is great for IPLs, amongst other things.

How often are you restoring spoolfiles and/or qezjoblogs, if and when needed?
