The default values for printer file QSYS/QPDSPMSG is:
Spooling description
Spooled output queue . . . . . . . . . . . : OUTQ *JOB
Max spooled output records . . . . . . . . : MAXRCDS 100000
Spooled output schedule . . . . . . . . . . : SCHEDULE *FILEEND
Copies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : COPIES 1
Apparently the number of records being processed by this printer file within your backup process is more that 100,000. This is why you have been getting the error. If you changed this printer file as follows, the error message you have been getting won't occur anymore:
CHGPRTF FILE(QPDSPMSG) MAXRCDS(*NOMAX)
The "danger" in doing this is that a job could theoretically encounter programming problems resulting in it getting into a "loop" while printing to QPDSPMSG. If this happens with the *NOMAX setting, it will continue to create output until system storage is completely used up. This is not good, because your system would shut down! If this is a concern, then you may want to just increase the size value for MAXRCDS to something like 1,000,000 instead of using *NOMAX. ==================================
