Those are pseudo-filesystems though, they aren't part of the install.

  Not sure where I said they were part of the install, but I meant that if you don’t exclude them bad things would happen to the cloning process Edit: or backup process

    With a block device copy approach like in TFA you don't need to worry about that because those filesystems do not exist on the block device. When copying files (e.g. with rsync) you need to watch out for those, yes. The best way to deal with other mounts is not to copy directly from / but instead non-recursively bind-mount / to another directory and then copy from that.
