I have various stuff across different machines that is worth backing up in var/ like directories for nsd, unbound, www, etc. It all depends what you're using your machine for thus what you've put in those. Storage these days is cheap: my usual approach is to back up everything except stuff that I have hunted down via "du" and suchlike as being actually rather large and decided I can certainly live without. Better to back up a bit too much rather than too little. (Note that things like logs are rather compressible so even "du" may badly overstate them.) -- Mark
