Assuming the current situation :
I don't see a lot of benefits of backing up the OS partitions. You'd better backup any config file that requires a lot of work to restore or version them using cvs/svn repository.
If you are very hectic to backup You use rsync considering its mysterious options...
Recommendations :
- Better migrate your systems to latest supported versions.
- Better use lvm for better manageability and more flexibility...
