Hi Folks,
     I am about to upgrade the o.s. on my Alpha from 1.3 to 3.0
For reasons I won't go into I am not doing a full backup first.
I am, however taring up all the user's files in the hope of restoring
them (as valid users) after the upgrade. What I want to know is have
I missed anything :

        /usr/users
        /etc/passwd
        /etc/group
        /usr/var/spool/mail

Please let me know before I burn my bridge behind me !

David.
