Depends on your needs and how much work you want to be doing if/when 
you need to use your backups.
Normally, for minimum fuss you'd need to back all your filesystems 
(ie both / and /boot in this case). If you don't backup /boot then 
after a recovery you'll find yourself having to do some manual steps 
before you have a bootable system again.
But at least /boot doesn't change much or often.
