You can run saves that require a restricted state, such as *SAVSYS, from the system console in a secure, unattended mode.
Enter a password to suspend the console. Once suspended, the console is again fully available. To avoid this security exposure, create a new user profile (for example, CONSOLE) that uses QBRM as the current library. The new user profile calls the console monitor program (Q1ACCON) as its initial program, and uses the *SIGNOFF menu as its initial menu.

BRMS Console Monitor Profile
Start the console monitor by signing on with this new user profile. Use F9 to enter commands at this display only if you enter the CONSOLE profile password. Any attempt to end the console monitor results in a signoff.
The backup which uses the console monitor runs with the authorities of the user profile used to start the console monitor. Ensure that this profile has enough authorities to perform the backups.
