[SunHELP] Do I need to backup /proc?

Hi Listers,
I have 60+ sun servers that I have to back up across a WAN. I want to do each box as quickly as possible and
avoid saturating the WAN for extended periods of time. With that in mind, is it safe to exclude the /proc filesystem
from any backups I do? Given that /proc is pretty much there for process debugging purposes (perhaps I'm
oversimplifying it), I would throw caution to the wind and say that that is something I'll not need to recover sometime
down the road.
Any thoughts/confirmations/suggestions on this?
Thanks in advance!
