I'm messing around with doing backups via rsync to an external hard

backup (these will be archived by, probably, dar or tar later on), and
was wondering if someone knew what I could strip out.
Thanks.
I'm not sure if I am following you or not but I back up /boot /dev /home
/sbin /var /bin /data /etc /lib /opt /root /usr when I do mine. /data
is where I store most of my data. I skip /sys, /proc and /tmp since
those are usually made by the kernel and /tmp is stuff that is cleared
out when booting anyway.
If you are asking what I think you are asking, you should be able to
leave out /sys, /tmp and /proc and be fine. YMMV.
