/proc and /sys are essentially 'runtime' filesystems which provide information about your system, including memory use, available hardware, various performance settings, etc. The files in here can vary greatly and should not be backed up like you would with /usr/ or /var/.

Exactly. I can't think of any reason at all why you'd want to back up the contents of /proc unless you absolutely needed a snapshot of the system at a point in time for forensic reasons.
