There are better ways...how do you store the tarballs and dd dumps?

/sys (like /proc) isn't a real directory as such; rather, it's a window
into the kernel (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysfs and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs), so there isn't any point in backing
it up.
From the top: what do you want to achieve?
