What should I backup?

[wakerider017]

I am installing a fresh copy of OSX on my Mac.. Making sure I got everything I need.

Here is what I have so far:

• Desktop items
• Movies folder
• Music folder
• Pictures folder
• Documents folder
• Safari bookmarks
• Address book backup
• iCal backup
• Downloaded applications

Anything obvious that I am missing?

looks good. also back the /Library preferences folder and your ~/Library preferences folder. look here for more info on backing up important files.
