The dir.edb contains the Directory Database. Your mailbox is contained within the Directory. The Information Store contains your actual mailbox data. So if you restored an Information store to a new server that had a blank directory, you would have mailbox data, but no way to retrieve it as you have no mailbox!
Hope this helps.
