/home (and /etc) should be everything you need. If you have installed
stuff locally, then backing up (or making a list of the stuff
in) /usr/local and /opt might be a good idea.

/usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /usr/share are directories used by the
distribution's RPM packages. If you're not intending to backup the
installed system as well, then you should do a full backup.
