Backing up those two directories is all you need. There are some indexes in 'hidden' directories, but those are under /var/cache/apt-proxy/<backend>. So backing up those two trees should be all you need. One thing to note: apt-proxy uses the last access time (atime) of the files to determine when they should be cleaned up. If your backup/restore does not save those (e.g. tar does not, star can save them), you may find that some files stay around for longer than you expect. This is probably only a concern if your disk space is limited. I'll add this information to the FAQ in the package.
