Back up as much as possible...

I'd strongly recommend that you back up all of /etc, with all
subdirectories, anyway. After a reinstall, you'll probably want to get
settings out of your previous install. There isn't that much of /etc,
and useful settings are scattered throughout (if they were use*less*
settings, they'd probably be replaced by a compiled-in default).

On top of that, you may have to back up /var/spool/mail and user home
directories to back up the mail itself.

HTH,

James.
