You could do this, but be a bit more selective.  For example, you don't 
want to pick up everything in /proc, the tar file will grow without end. 
  As for /proc, I've found you're good if you simply pick up the 
directories there.

You could be even more selective and reduce the size of the backup. 
There's plenty of stuff out there you don't generally need to backup 
like the system binaries.
