I'm not sure if I am following you or not but I back up /boot /dev /home |
13 |
/sbin /var /bin /data /etc /lib /opt /root /usr when I do mine. /data |
14 |
is where I store most of my data. I skip /sys, /proc and /tmp since |
15 |
those are usually made by the kernel and /tmp is stuff that is cleared |
16 |
out when booting anyway. |

If you are asking what I think you are asking, you should be able to |
19 |
leave out /sys, /tmp and /proc and be fine. YMMV. |
