This is a flawed question, because rdiff-backup can not restore to a
new blank disk.  It must be parittioned and formatted first.  And
grubbed afterwards.

You can exclude everything.  I exclude /dev, /sys, /proc, *.gvfs, and
/tmp.  If you use the option for staying on one filesystem, and back
up /, you'd not need to exclude proc, sys, or dev.
