Kay -
Many, many thanks! I lost my history file on the server (and with it,
the correct syntax for my saving off of some files), but you filled in
the missing part:
/usr/bin/rsync -av --exclude=".*" -e ssh /home/ /media/usbdisk/
My version of Centos automatically mounts the drive when I turn it on....
Thank you....

What is the device name for a USB drive? I want to rsync some
files to it and I have completely forgotten the device name!
/usr/bin/rsync -av --exclude=".*" -e ssh /home/ /dev/???????/
Because these are managed as SCSI drives, the names are
/dev/sda[1...], /dev/sdb[1...],...
Many thanks....

Todd,
before you use it, you'll have to mount it - /dev/sda is the disk,
/dev/sda1 is its first partition. Probably you'll have to
mount /media/usbdisk
as a regular user
or
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
(or similar) as root.
HTH,
Kay
