[TriLUG] FC2: Backing up configuration informaion

  Running FC2 and want to format and re-install with FC3, but being
new still began looking at what items I should consider backing up so
that I could install with a configuration file and then load the
backed-up conf files after the installation completed.
  Looks like most of what I may need is in the ETC path, but I'm
certian that I do not need to backup the entire directory structure.
Just curious to know how difficult it is to get the machine back to a
"close to identical" state. It's currently acting as an LDAP, DNS, and
SAMBA server. I know that I could simply perform an update, but I am
beginning my planning for disaster recovery and decided this was a
good a point as any to work on it. Anyone have suggestions or
solutions?
