I'd like to know which parts from /var are actually needed. Do we need |
| 18 |
anything more than /var/mail, /var/lib/portage/world and /var/log? |

/var/db seems to contain data about installed packages but since we |
| 21 |
don't back up /usr (when doing a minimal backup) we have to reemerge |
| 22 |
everything and these data should be regenerated automatically, don't you |
| 23 |
think? |

I'd add /proc/config.gz to save the kernel config. |
