However if I run rsync -avz to back up my

So if I were to go to /backup/march/19 and rm -rf * wouldn't it go and
delete everything in /usr/home?
Should add: In you shell, alias rm to "rm -i" which will ask you about
deleting anything and everything. For an rm -r, once you are *sure*
that you are deleting the right thing, you can ^C, pull back your
command line and edit it to say "/bin/rm ...". If you are sure you are
deleting the right thing, and if you always edit the command line then
you should never(*) delete something you didn't want to.
(*) Of course, there will still be times when you are not paying enough
attention and still manage to delete something you didn't intend to, but
those times should be greatly reduced :-)
