Hi Eric,

While I don't use EasyTime in our daily operations, I took a look at the 
product.  Its backup function is implemented through the submission of a 
batch job which in turn runs the program 'ETBACKUP.PUB.SYS'.

I looked inside said program for all occurrences of the string "STORE " 
and the results (see hex dump below) seem to indicate that the 
';DIRECTORY' option is indeed specified when the 'store' utility is 
invoked. 

Regards
Paul Christidis

The client I am working for is using Easytime to setup and perform 
backups.  They do a full every night, it is a small system the full only 
takes around 2 hours.  They asked me today if all of the directory 
(passwords, users, etc) are all backed up.  I would have to assume so 
because it does not appear that Easytime has any options for that, in fact 
EasyTime options are limited.  My question, has anyone used easytime and 
is my assumption correct?  I suggested just doing a restore to another 
location but they don't want to do that.
