You might want to back up your web server configuration also - there's typically a bunch of important details in there. If you're using Apache, this is typically very easy to do. If you're using IIS, you can explicitly back up the entire metabase (or whatever they call it now) or specific items. If you're using SSL certificates, you want to make sure you have the certificate files (including CSRs) backed up somewhere also.
