You could use something like...
rpm -ql $(rpm -qa) | sort >/tmp/rpm-controlled-files
find / -print | sort >/tmp/all-files
comm -3 /tmp/rpm-controlled-files /tmp/all-files >/tmp/uncontrolled-files
...to get the list of files and directories to back up.
But that will mean that your contrib'ed RPM-controlled files won't get
backed up.
