It's getting cold and its a time to turn on my heater/miner again ;-)

I saw that this machine is still running Ubuntu 14.04. I think it would be time to upgrade/reinstall the entire machine at that point.

What do I need to backup? Which files/directories?

After that I will wipe out the hard disk and reinstall Ubuntu 16.04.3 server. Then install Monero again and then restore the files you suggested before I restart to mine.

Besides the backup, do I need to take care of anything else?

You should back up the ~/.bitmonero directory (which contains the blockchain) and your wallet files (the <wallet name>, <wallet name>.keys, and (though not needed) <wallet name>.txt.

Aside from that, there's little to worry about.
