If there is a host machine that exists, you can image it.  If there are
ancient backups of the host machine, you might be able to restore them.
Finding this is 75% of the struggle.

The problem is most of the VaxELN machines out there have long ago lost all
of that stuff.  Only the client binaries remain.
