It depends on what you've set up.
For the systems I have, I only back up the configuration files in /etc/
plus the output of
dpkg --get-selections
The restoration plan is to do a fresh installation and restore with
dpkg --set-selections
Then for the data, it is /var/ and /home/, with special treatment for
any live databases if needed. I don't use /srv/ or /opt/ for anything.

See "man 7 hier"
"""
/run This directory contains information which describes
the system since it was booted. Once this purpose
was served by /var/run and programs may continue
to use it.
/srv This directory contains site-specific data that is
served by this system.
/sys This is a mount point for the sysfs filesystem, which
provides information about the kernel like /proc, but
better structured, following the formalism of kobject
infrastructure.
