When saving spooled files using BRMS, how they are saved can affect the restore performance. To get the best restore performance, it Saving Spooled Files Using a QALLSPLF *OBJ List is recommended that the following method should be used to save all spooled files that can be restored when migrating to new hardware or in case of a full system restore.
Note: In PTFs 7.3 SI68568 and 7.2 SI68567 BRMS creates an QALLSPLF *OBJ list which eliminate the need for Steps 1 and 2. The QALLSPLF can be substituted in place of OUTQONLY in this example, if using the PTFs.

- NOTE: This applies to all of the library entries in the control group. If you have duplicate library entries that match the entries in the *OBJ list the data will be saved twice.

This is the optimized way to restore all spooled files. If performance is not an issue, Saving Spooled Files Using a QALLSPLF *SPL List is another option for saving and restoring spooled files.
