Backing Up Spooled Files on Auxiliary Storage Pool Devices

If the libraries on the auxiliary storage pool device contain output queues and you want to save the spooled files associated with these output queues, you need to use the *SETASPGRP special item to assure the output queue libraries are attached to the backup job before the spooled file list is processed. The following panel illustrates the use of a spooled file list named PAYROLL that identifies the specific output queues, libraries and spooled files to be backed up. The PAYROLL primary auxiliary storage pool containing these output queues is set to the backup job just prior to the backup items being processed, and removed from the job after the save of the backup items is complete.
