I am currently using rsnapshot to back up these directories on a
FreeBSD 7.2 webserver:
/etc
/usr/home
/usr/local
/var/cron
These directories contain all the data and config files that I
use... I think...
Question: am I missing anything crucial?
My general advice is to back up everything and then explicitly
excluding those things that you know that you don't need. Here is my
exclude list from my rsnapshot.conf
exclude /var/log
exclude /var/tmp
exclude /usr/obj
exclude /usr/ports/distfiles
exclude /usr/local/squid
Also I backup by file system, so I'm already excluding /tmp
It is far to easy to forget something that needs to be backed up.
