DIRECTORY causes the MPE directory of accounts/users/groups and HFS
directories to be written to the tape.  This facilitates the recovery of
accounts, groups, users and directories if necessary.  Note that unless
ONVS= is specified, only those on the system volumesets are stored (see HELP
STORE PARMS for more information).

STOREDIRECTORY stores a directory of what was stored in an HFS file.  If the
path /SYS/HPSTORE/store_dirs does not exist, it isn't written.  It's use is
mostly for use with ONLINE backup, especially with ONLINE=END, to ensure
proper recovery.  Again, see HELP STORE PARMS for a more complete
description.
