RE: Can anyone comment on the reliability of the archive utilities in JBA?

The "operations guide" is pretty good (now available on the JBA Offline CD),
as is the normal paper manual.  These together should broadly give you what
you need.

As far as system manager files are concerned, add the following commands to
your dayend:

Application Manager dayend              CALL PGM(IPGAMP4/XA803CLP)
Common Functions dayend         CALL PGM(IPGCFP4/ICF706CL)
Clear Management History                CLRMNGHST KEEP(7)
Clear MM Error Log                              CLRPFM (IPGCFF4/APG99PHY)
Clear CF Error Log                              CLRPFM (IPGCFF4/ICF98PHY)
Clear MM Log                                    CLRMNGLOG  KEEP(7)
Clean User Allocations                  CLNUSRALC

All once a week, except CLNUSRALC (i'd recommend running this at least once
a day, as JBA options don't seem to release licences properly [one way to
make money i suppose]).  This should cut down on the amount of stuff you're
storing, although most are purge rather that archive.

Regards,
Stuart
