Not in the same way as with FLR and LIB; i.e. there is no Edit Backup List (EDTBCKUPL) to include the type of Backup List (BCKUPL) for /directories/.

However, omitting /QIBM would not be recommended; the directories under /QIBM include "user" data and thus included as part of the default saved DIR(*ALLUSR):
IBM i KnowledgeCenter->Files and file systems->Integrated file system->Integrated file system concepts->Directory->Provided directories
"…
• /QIBM/ProdData
≥ The /QIBM/ProdData directory is a system directory used for Licensed program data.
• /QIBM/UserData
≥ The /QIBM/UserData directory is a system directory used for Licensed Program *user data* such as configuration files.
…"

If desired to effect a different SAV than the default, if really /QIBM would be chosen for OMIT() processing, then use the Change Backup Options (CHGBCKUP) to specify DIR(*NONE) and an Exit Program (EXITPGM) name [invoked for each of the Backup Options (*DAILY, *WEEKLY, *MONTHLY) being used for which that directory should be omitted during that type of processing]; the exit program would be coded to perform the desired SAV activity when the Run Backup (RUNBCKUP) is performed with those options.
