Scott -
Whoops! In the past, I was RSYNCing to a backup/standby server and
forgot to modify the command.
Thank you.....

Thank you! That is exactly what I needed. I had to make one change
though since I use rsync to copy the data to the USB drive: I could not
use vfat. Instead, I used ext3. With vfat, I got errors when it tried
to do a chmod (expected).
I do have another fs question though. A couple of weeks ago I noticed
that the USB icon was not on my desktop when I turned the drive on. Not
knowing any better, I ran my rsync with the following:
/usr/bin/rsync -av --exclude=".*" -e ssh /home/ /media/usbdisk/
And it went ahead and did it's thing *but* the drive was
inoperable...dead. Where did the data go?
And I noticed with the new drive, if I turn it off, rsync puts the data
somewhere with
/usr/bin/rsync -av --exclude=".*" -e ssh /home/ /media/usbdisk1/
I need a FS 101 course!!
You don't need the -e ssh command if you are copying locally. Just use
/usr/bin/rsync -av /home/ /media/usbdisk1/ --exclude=".*"
As for your copy with an unmounted drive, the copy should have gone to
/media/usbdisk . Try a ls /media/usbdisk
