Hi vbe,

Yes i am sure somebody from other team has deleted those files and folders.
I may have asked this question of the moving or renaming files but there are 4-5 main directory, lot of sub-directory and each having many files. and this happened second time in today itself. So i am sure about the files are not moved.
Yes. I don't have root access and the same others also don't have so there is very little chance that root user can delete this. That's why i checked only history for our common user.
But as per my knowledge there is high probability that they have deleted all the files from the winscp. So that's the problem.

thanks,
pamu

MHA-DBRECOVER(1)					       MHonArc Documentation						  MHA-DBRECOVER(1)

NAME

       mha-dbrecover - rebuild a MHonArc archive database

SYNOPSIS

       mha-dbrecover [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mha-dbrecover is a utility program that is part of the MHonArc software package.  The program allows can be used to rebuild a MHonArc
       archive database from the HTML message files.  This allows database recovery if the database gets corrupted or accidentally deleted.

       The documentation for MHonArc is distributed in HTML format.  Due to its size and organization, it is not suited for manpage format.
       Consult your system administrator for where the documentation has been installed, or see "AVAILABILITY" on where you can access the
       documentation on the web.

OPTIONS

       mha-dbrecover takes all the options available to mhonarc along with the following additional options:

       "-dbr-startnum" #
	   The starting message number to recover data from.  This option is useful if you have many message files in a directory, but you only
	   want to recover a subset of the files.

	   If this option is not specified, the starting number is 0.

       "-dbr-endnum" #
	   The ending message number to recover data from.  This option is useful if you have many message files in a directory, but you only want
	   to recover a subset of the files.

	   If this option is not specified, all messages starting from "-dbr-startnum" will be recovered.

       NOTE: Only a subset of the options available to mhonarc are actually supported since many options are not applicable for recovering
       operations.
