[opensuse] Backing Up Via rsync

I am currently backing up my OSE12.3 to an external SAS hard drive using this rsync command: /usr/bin/rsync -avWHu --delete --exclude-from=/root/rsync.excludes / /external/ose3/ where /root/rsync.excludes currently contains: /external /lost+found /media /mnt /proc /sys /var/lib/ntp/proc Are there additional entries I should be excluding such as /run, /var/run, /var/spool, etc? I want to be able to restore the system from the backup, possibly using Relax and Recover (which did a fantastic job of restoring a Liinux VM at work using NetBackup).
