The OS install itself is of worth, especially once it's been  
customised. Unless your time to rebuild it has zero value, it's worth  
backing it up along with everything else. Are you sure you've  
remembered to reinstate *every* cron job, every moody CPAN package, re- 
sent queued mails, and got the UID mappings right? Does getting that  
wrong have no cost?
