ok so the final answer is: - you must non exclude table definitions - content of cache table (objectcache, l10n_cache) can be excluded with no problem - content of link table (externallinks, imagelinks, iwlinks, langlinks) can be excluded but regenerating can take days is correct?

P.S.: "regenerating link tables" is an automated process after a backup?
