It's easy enough to check what files the RPM intends to update...
bash-2.05a$ rpm -q -p -l netpbm-devel-9.24-3.i386.rpm
/usr/include/pam.h
/usr/include/pammap.h
/usr/include/pbm.h
/usr/include/pbmshhopt.h
/usr/include/pgm.h
/usr/include/pm.h
... other files omitted ...
That can diminish how much is in the "everything" that needs to be
backed up...
