You can run many of the functions that are performed by BRMS under the control of a job scheduler. For example, you can schedule daily backups to begin after nightly processing, and schedule the MOVMEDBRM or STRMNTBRM commands to run after the saves complete. You can also schedule jobs to run across networks. And, as discussed in Tailoring Your Backup you can also use the console monitor to schedule an unattended save.
