Backup Central

I'm planning on using rsnapshot to do full backups of a Ubuntu 10.04
system. I'm trying to figure out what to exclude. Does this list look
reasonable?

/dev
/lost+found
/media
/mnt
/proc
/sys
/tmp


Thanks

I'd add /var/cache, /var/tmp, /var/spool and /var/run.

/var/cache in particular can get quite large with stuff that is
temporary (apt-get or aptitude droppings)
