Backup & Restore Groups and Users

Hi!

I have a short & quick newbie question. How do I make a backup of all users and groups in my slackware? Which files should I backup? And how do I restore them?

Thaks!

/etc/passwd
/etc/group

for passwords.
/etc/shadow

and of course home dirs as well. but that is probably beyond the scope of your intention.
