Comment(by jeffr0):

 In my opinion, having the ability to backup the database should be all
 that is really needed here as that contains everything you need to get
 back on your feet, also includes any options for plugins that save them in
 the database. Saving the actual WordPress files or plugin files would just
 be overhead. I think end users who are really that concerned about saving
 the files such as themes should be making regular backups of either just
 the plugin/theme folders or making full/home directory backups through
 their webhosting accounts control panel.
