Doubtful. Anything on /mnt implies something may be mounted on that
partition, such as other partitions. If you include that you might end
up in a loop, capturing /mnt which then captures what is underneath
it, then that captures its /mnt, and you end up backing up way too
much redundant data.

There's no point to backing up /dev, /proc, /sys, probably /srv as
well - or /media (why back up the dvd that might be mounted at
/media/cdrom0?) because those directories are autoregenerated on the
fly by the system.
