Advantages:
* No need to have the console signed on for BRMS to take it over.
* Once configured it's "fire and forget".
* If for whatever reason an error occurred (no tape loaded), I think the
worst condition is the system stays in restricted state until the time

limit

is reached and controlling subsystem is started.

Disadvantages:
* Console is NOT available during the backup. No way to monitor the system
at all, TCP/IP is down too.
* Cannot monitor status during backup. Must review DSPLOGBRM and job log

for

problem determination.
* If it goes kaput, must go into DST and force end the batch restricted
state.

Despite the scary-sounding disadvantages, I still prefer the batch
restricted state backup, if only because I don't need CONSOLE signed on

just

to "manage" an interactive backup.

with *CONSOLE also?

Reason I ask is the once (and only once) the operator did not ready a

tape

in the MLB device. At 12:01am the backup fired off, couldn't find

anywhere

to backup to, and sat there until I came in at 7am.

It's only happened once, but my next step would have been to a check in

the

*EXIT point at the start. If no tape was available, I assume there

would

be
a way I could abort the whole thing, email me, I call the operator, wake
her
up, make her go into the office (she has a key) and put in the $#@&%*$
tape.
