Hi,

Is there any possible reason of a file loss in OpenVMS. This loss event
occured two times, both on Monday's but the dates are different. So I
have checked the Sunday evening backup, the file was there. However,
while i have checked the Monday evening backup, the file was absent.
Between these two backup times, the only commands that are run on the
directory of these files are "analyze /disk /repair" and "purge". Is it
possible that one of these commands may be responsible of the file loss?

Or is there any way to trace the user's activity history to find out any
deletion commands that they entered?

My OpenVMS version: 7.3-2
Disks are in HSG80 Compaq storage and in SAN environment
Fibre SCSI patch is v0300

Best Regards...
