What to backup when going from 9.2rc1 --> 9.2?

I'm considering trying to upgrade from 9.2 rc1 to 9.2, but I'm pretty new to Mandrake (and Linux). I know I should back up my /home/, but where else is user stuff likely to be? /usr/?

Reading threads here, I get the impression that people are having mixed results with 9.2, but since I'm still only running rc1 I thought I'd better upgrade -- does anyone have a different suggestion?

I go for /home and /etc and that's it. /usr contains endless binaries that probably won't transfer from an rc to a final.

i upgraded from rc2 without any problem, distros are basically the same, only a few rpm will be update, configs wont be touched. dont worry!
