You will want to back up /etc/backuppc (or wherever your conf files
are), these are necessary to do anything useful with BackupPC, such as
restoring files. Other than that there should be nothing.

However, you should be aware of how hard links work and restore them
correctly. Lots of recent threads about that here. In short, replicating
a complete backup archive is often not feasible off site because of the
high number of hard links.
