While it doesn't answer the question of exactly *what* to backup, it
does provide a good short overview of Linux/Unix backups. Pay special
attention to the section about the "hostdump" script. It's a pretty
slick script that I got from O'Reilly's "Unix Backup & Recovery" Gator
book.

Here's the documentation:

Hope this helps!
