There are a number other files that you will want to exclude that are
machine specific, such as hostname, /etc/network/interfaces, etc.
I also exclude /boot so that a kernel upgrade will not break LILO
when rsync runs, but if you use grub this may not be a problem.
Using the --exclude-from={FILE} switch then listing the things you want
excluded in a separate file works well for me.
