Well, is the drive 256GB or are you actually using 256GB? 

I do nightly rsync backups of my home directory to a NAS.  But, since I use IMAP for mail
I exclude the mail folders as
they can be rebuilt.  I also exclude ~/..cache as well as some easily recreated data.

The largest flash drive I have is a 128GB so I'd have to do multiple copies.

I would surely agree with Rick that the easiest method is rsync over the network.
