I kept a partition named Data (already btrfs, no need to encrypt) which was large enough to essentially copy all of my root partition in case of a failure. I nevertheless went ahead and exported some crucial data

GPG keys

gpg --export-sekret-keys to a secure, non-shared location

SSH keys

Copy ~/.ssh/ somewhere secure

Kubectl config

Just to be sure

Copy ~/.config

Do I need to explain? I did a little filtering and removed a few folders belonging to apps I was 100% sure to have uninstalled a while ago

Make list of installed apps

pacman -Qe > ...txt

Copy /etc, /opt, /srv, ... to be sure
