I would report that to IBM as a bug and make them fix it. In a restricted state you should not have to be concerned with object locks on anything when doing a backup - assuming the system did actually end to a restricted state (check for msg in QSYSOPR). A possible circumvention for this may be to vary off any comm lines/network interfaces - that may free the locks the Network Stations have. PS - 10 lashes with a wet noodle for using IBMIRD as the volume id on your tapes instead of assigning unique volid's so you can tracl for tape defects through the Product Activity Log in STRSST, or with the PRTERRLOG *VOLSTAT command.

After shutting down several tasks in an orderly fashion we run the ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED. We have a program that does the same as option 21 of the SAVE menu but it also logs the time of each step. The program will hurl on our as/400s that are busy netstation users.

So, SWA is very much applicable in a restricted state, and I see no reason why it should not work.
