Personally, I'd run backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ or the 
epel package) and take the whole tree because (a)it will compress the 
files and link all duplicates so it doesn't waste that much space, (b) 
when you need a copy you'll have it instead of finding out it was one 
you didn't bother to include, and (c) it won't take you a week to set up 
and test.
