I kind of doubt it.  You could probably prove it by comparing history, or
backup job logs, or the actual backup content to the object change dates for
dropped objects.  I'd also want to check the logs for your restore
processing.

The only problems I've ever seen with SAVLIB and SAVCHGOBJ differential or
incremental backups has been with multi-member files.  In my situation it
involved having members restored that were supposed to have been deleted.

I have known folks who have completely screwed their differential backups by
performing intermediate SAVLIB commands.  This is one reason to secure the
command.  A friend discovered that his company's backups were swiss cheese
because developers had a regular practice of performing SAVLIBs to refresh
production data to test, for example.

Performing SAVLIBs is easy.  Designing a good backup strategy is hard work.
