What files or directories shoud I ignore when doing a tar backup?

So far my include list is:
/etc
/usr/home
/usr/local/etc
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf
/var/log
/root
/.profile
/.cshrc

And my exclude list is
/root/.netscape/cache
/etc/fstab
/etc/mtree
/etc/isdn
/etc/uucp
/usr/local/etc/codepages/


Planning to create a separate tar just for /usr/local
How about /var?
should I backup all of it?
Among the thing I already now which will need to be excluded is the
postgreSQL "/base" directory. Other than that not aware of any directory
in /usr/local/ that will need to be excluded.
