You should definitely not exclude /var from your backups.
So keep /var in your backups, but remove /var/log, /var/tmp, /var/run,
/var/lock and any other dirs that contain non-persistent files.
Hey I start to realize that this is going to be a science.. I've installed
Linux on all my home boxes in the last weeks, still reading manuals
for installing this and that; I didn't reach the 'let's write a
comprehensive, all-regarding backup script for my network' stage yet.
I guess that'll take another week to find out what to backup and
what to leave out..
