You're so right ;-)
Main problem (at least to me) is almost everytime *what* is important
data and what is not? I don't mean my personal stuff (that's the easy
part), but more, which control files and (fine) tunings on the running
system do I not want to loose? /etc and /usr/local/etc are very
important data dirs, but what others are too?
