    Backup related query: which areas of file system does CMS update?

    We are setting up a backup plan for one of our customer's sites that has a high turnover of content.

    We have SQL Server backup running on a Full / Differential / Incremental backup plan. But we're wondering what we need to backup on the file system.

    Considering there is an automatic backup taken of overwritten files when we upload web root changes (i.e. Views, web.config, etc), and excluding uploads that may be done by third party packages, what areas of a web root folder does the CMS update?

    I'm only aware of the Media files that are uploaded within the Media section, and also Lucene indexes.

    I'm assuming things like xml cache can be regenerated easily, so don't need to be backed up regularly.

    I assume Lucene indexes can also be rebuilt easily from within the Developer section. So would it just be the Media section files, plus potentially any files uploaded by third party add-ons / plugins?
