Backing up Nagios on Ubuntu 10.04

Greetings,
I would like to backup Nagios.  I'm imagining rsyncing the files to 
another server that runs a backup job to tape each night.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and used it's package management system to install 
Nagios, so this isn't a compiled version.

I'm not exactly sure where all the Nagios data lives... but basically I 
looked into the nagios.conf and httpd.conf files and wrote up a list of 
directories it's responsible for.

Here's my list:
	/etc/nagios3
	/usr/lib/nagios/
	/etc/nagios-plugins
	/var/log/nagios3
	/var/cache/nagios3
	/var/lib/nagios3

	/usr/share/nagios3
	/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios3	

Should I be adding any other directories to the archive to ensure I can 
start up where I left off in case something goes horribly wrong?

Thanks,
-Andy
