I'm using rsnapshot for backups and am very satisfied with it. However
I'm uncertain just what to backup.
Currently I'm backing up:
/home/tony/
/etc/
/var/lib/mysql/ (for some databases)
Is there anything else I should be backing up? I suspect there are some
more things in /var that should be included.

/var/lib/portage. You'll have your world file, in case you lose
everything, so you'll be able to rebuild your system with the same
packages.

If at first you don't succeed, you must be a programmer.
