Read about /etc/exclude.rootvg in the mksysb man page.

To directly answer your question, without the exclude file, a mksysb backup will save everything in rootvg. So, to avoid backing up non-OS files, use exclude.rootvg.

To add to what Orphy said, Unmounted filesystems in rootvg will not be backed up by mksysb.
