Beginning with V5R4M0, you can back up spooled files concurrently when saving output queues. Likewise, you can also restore these saved spooled files when restoring the output queue. BRMS does not automatically restore the saved spooled files when restoring output queues, you must specify this recovery option on the Restore Command Defaults display before you restore the output queue or the library containing the output queue.
If you want spooled files recovered with restored output queue, specify *NEW for the Restore spooled file data prompt on the Restore Command Default display before you restore the libraries or output queues.

You can determine whether a saved library contains saved spooled file data by viewing the save information for the library. Use option 5 (display) to view the save information for the library. A value of *YES will be set for the Saved spooled file data prompt on the Display Save Information display if spooled files were saved with saved output queues.
