That was a scary lesson that I learned tonight. I'm burning a backup
now, and I'll be learning rsync tonight...

This is an rsync command that my wife and I both use on our laptops
everytime we get home to our local network.

/usr/bin/rsync -e ssh -avzp --exclude "/home/eagle1/.ssh" --delete
/home/eagle1 / /ns2.local.net:/prtdata/

I would suggest using the -n option to rsync to test things before you
run it on a live filesystem. Leaving a / off of the end of a path in rsync
can be disasterous. It has saved my life many times.
