The only things I consider crucial to back up are my own work. I don?t
bother backing up OS installations, apart from the contents of /etc.
Yes, that is what I do, backup data, static data dirs with various OS
Config Dirs.
And here’s another tip: before modifying anything in /etc, I try to make a
backup copy with the suffix “-orig” attached. That way, it’s easy to find
all the places I’ve customized the config, with a simple command like
find /etc -iname \*-orig
