Note that Backup, Recovery, and Media Services (BRMS) is a separately install-able and chargeable product.

That being said, BRMS does have it own set of APIs

However, JT400 doesn't include any specific functionality for interacting with the BRMS product.

A quick glance through the BRMS APIs seems to show that they all use a (OPM) *PGM interface. So JT400's ProgramCall class would be sufficient to call them.

EDIT
JT400 also has a CommandCall class , but it's only useful for commands that don't invoke a program with a interactive UI. So for example, you couldn't call WRKSYSSTS as mentioned in your comment.

For interacting with BRMS, the best option would be using it's APIs and teh ProgramCall class.
