That was the kicker I had a nice little script that backed up the etc
dir to a remote machine that was on full backup.  Problem is that the
box said we could not just blindly restore them in the event of a
disaster due to the fact that some of those files are going to be
system-generated blah..blah..blah.  

So, he says to me that we need to backup only the critical system files.

I just did not word my question as well as I could have.

This is already on the NAS people's home dirs are remote mounted via
NFS.

Good point and someone else mentioned important files in /var I would
say like mail and such but there are others of course.
