DirectAdmin backups are not bare-metal backups. You'd have to install the OS, DirectAdmin, and then recreate the reseller accounts. Then account restores should work.

The admin user-level backups are still in BETA. You should always test your restore scenario in advance.

I actually have the same question. Is it safe to use the Admin level backup to just backup all user accounts on the servers?

I was really asking if it was safe to backup just user accounts via the "Admin" backup instead of the "Reseller" Backup?
