Hope someone replies to the list, since I'm curious about this too.

I would backup the entire /etc tree, /root and even /var, especially if sql databases are stored there. I run a script that backs up every mysql database into a *.sql file. The entire database can be restored from this single. Use cron to run this script regularly. Any added software you installed should be backed up. I keep copies of all software I installed after initial installation.
Then I burn them to disk just in case the system fails. Just my two cents.
