Upgrade/Backup question

I'm planning on upgrading to a most recent version of FreeBSD (v4.7 to v4.8). I plan on backing up data before doing so. Which configuration files (or filesystem[s]) should I backup ?? /, /etc, /var, /usr ??? I'm excluding "/usr/home" because that's standard anyways. >> Michael A., USA ___
