/proc and /sys are essentially 'runtime' filesystems which provide
information about your system, including memory use, available
hardware, various performance settings, etc. The files in here can
vary greatly and should not be backed up like you would with /usr/ or
/var/. Mostly, you should skip /proc and /sys for your backup
procedures.
