You may need to go to some trouble to find it tho.
Oh, don't forget not all data are in /home. Many people need to consider mysql
and/or postgresql, maybe websites, email held outside of /home (such as
in /var/mail).
I consider the contents of /etc fairly important; I had to reconstruct
firewall and VPN settings following the demise of a Powermac recently.
The butterflies that flutter by differemt distros are just the people must
likely to have valuables in such places.
