I use BRMS to backup Spool files all the time. Here is and example:
1. Define a SPL list:
From the main BRMS menu select - 3 Archive - 1 Archive planning - 3 Work with archive lists
Create a list like this (Note: I'm excluding job logs and *OUTQ in library Kenneth and saving everything else)
Use . . . . . . . . . : *ARC
List name . . . . . . : SPOOL
Text . . . . . . . . : Spool File Archive
*INC/
Seq Library Outq File Job User User data *EXC
10 QUSRSYS QEZJOBLOG *ALL *ALL *ALL *ALL *EXC
20 QUSRSYS KENNETH *ALL *ALL *ALL *ALL *EXC
30 *ALL *ALL *ALL *ALL *ALL *ALL *INC
2. Hit enter to save the list and they use F12 to back out to the Archive Planning menu.
3. Take option 2 Work with archive control groups and create a group like this:
Display Archive Control Group Entries
Group . . . . . . . . . . : SPOOLBU
Default activity . . . . : *ARCPCY
Text . . . . . . . . . . : Archive Spool Files

Then run the archive control group you just created and you will be backing up spool files!
In this example, the spool files will be saved in a *SAVF. You can also back them up to a tape.
