on the subject of backups

hi,

i use slackware 10 and have noticed the last couple of emails are regarding backups.
i';ve used windoze for years and know exaclty what to backup but need to know which directories are recommended for backups and if you could tell me what the directory does. oh and don't tell me to backup my home directory i figured that much out already.

/bin directory ?? what goes in that directory
/usr directory ?? ..

i'm not asking for an exhaustive explanation on EVERY directory just basically and i mean basically which ones to backup and why.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
