I back up the entire disk image personally, the change set between
backups is generally zero for system binaries etc, plus it provides a
useful audit tool should any box get hacked.
It also means when restoring that I don't need to worry about whether or
not the box will restore into a working state or not due to package
updates or config/running state stored in non-standard locations.
Just my 2p though, I tend to be overly zealous about these things. :)
