That sucker is old. :-)

This is correct. There's no reason to back it up.

This is correct. BA2 backs up the EAs when it backs up the file. There's
no need to backup "ea data. sf" and it's content would be wrong after a
restore, in any case.

This actually should be "WP ROOT. SF". Since the WPS will recreate "WP
ROOT. SF" as needed, there's not benefit to backing it up.

>Is that an adequate test? Is it enough to check the byte totals before

It's OK, but not complete. You are not checking the EAs.
