   That's a file name?  What, exactly, does "the OS file"
mean to you?  Is it a CD-ROM image, or what?

   I think that it would be good for you to learn how to ask
and answer questions.  It's really not difficult.  This new
copy+paste technology can be useful, too.

> Dataretrieve_72a2.zip

   This new copy+paste technology can be useful for avoiding
simple spelling errors, too.

   Yup.

> dcps_27.zip
> decset_122a.zip

   Did your Web search for, say:
      openvms dcps
or:
      openvms decset
reveal nothing?

> vms072lp.zip contains file of same name with extension .bck
> A backup file I gather for what IDK. 

   Not "073"?  This new copy+paste technology works on
numbers, too.  "LP" might stand fot Layered Products, which
could be an assortment of many things.

> BACKUP /LIST <save set name> /SAVE_SET 

   Yup.
