I only want to backup files that I would need to restore the system if it went down. The system that would be used is Zorin os4. I am not sure how to break that down further, I know it has something to do with Ubuntu (as you can tell, I am brand new to Linux and don't know very much). In doing my research I learned the TAR commmand will backup only important system files, below is the command; is there anything I would need to change?

tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /
