What *I'd* do, is have separate partitions for /, /var /opt and /home.
And do a monthy full dump of each file system, weekly incremental dumps
of /var and /opt, and daily or every other day incremental dumps of
/home. It is probably iffy to get a meaningful dump of mysql's running
database. It probably makes better sense to do a SQL dump -- 'man
mysqldump'.
