Is there a flag I can set to use with rsync to backup every file of

Your question is not clear to me.
I use
$ rsync -avzp --delete /usr/home/* /home
if that is what you are looking for.
What does the "--delete" do?! I want to make a complete copy of, say,
/usr/home/kline/* from here [tao] to my Ubuntu server, ethos, which has
a "/home" mountpoint--- in otheer words: /home/kline/*. If the
"--delete /usr/home* /home" syntax will let rsync rewrite /usr/home to /home,
then fine.

--delete makes sure that if you delete a file on the source, it's also
deleted on the mirror.
(Tip for those that use rsync to backup Windows machines to FreeBSD -
You will most likely have to use --ignore-errors if you are syncing
to/from windows machines with --delete.)
Just my nickels worth.
