I use Centos 7.4/7.5

what standard paths is useful and important and must be add to the backup list.

I think the below paths should be add to the backup list.

is there any more ?

thanks

That's an entirely subjective argument. Depends on your use case what "must" be added. Generally I would recommend a complete backup

from my point of view: OS is installed into a partition, but I use this partition only for the OS itself, I will not store any data on it. I can reinstall/change the OS any time I wish. I don't think this partition should be put into the backup list, because I can reinstall it any time faster. The only exception could be the configuration settings in /etc (or anywhere else), but usually that cannot be used in the "next" OS without changes.

Then why were you saying until *YESTERDAY* that you were using RHEL 7??

Seems odd that it's changed in the past 24 hours to CentOS, after you were asked about calling RHEL support.
You tell us. You don't say what you've loaded on your RHEL server (please, don't say you're using CentOS after saying RHEL 7 for months). Some software writes configs to different locations.

But why would you bother backing up log files? And you're not backing up /home (you know..ALL your users data?) As the administrator, you should know where software was loaded, what config files you've modified, and what's important on your server. All of this is up to YOU to determine.
