/sys is not a real file system, it's full of entries into the kernel, so
you don't need or want to back up /sys. It's completely recreated every
time the system reboots. 

You can use "df" to see where things are mounted. As a general rule, you
don't need/want to back up things that are mounted as tmpfs, or things
that are not "mounted" at all (that don't show up in the "df" output).
You only want to back up file systems that are mounted on physical
devices (/dev/something). Whether a given file system really needs to be
backed up depends a lot on what you have stored there; you will have to
decide that for yourself based on your own use of the system. For
instance, I have one system that has a lot (several TB) of videos stored
on it. These take up a huge amount of room and are not that important,
so I do not back them up (I do not include those file systems in my
FileSet). If the drive they are stored on fails, I know I will lose
them, but I accept that. This type of decision, nobody can advise you
on.
