"I want to write a cron job for root to copy the daily backup from
/media/bkup1/ to /media/bkup2/. Is this rsync command sufficient?
 
rsync -avz /media/bkup1 /media/bkup2"

I've to ask the seemingly obvious question here. What exactly are you trying to 
accomplish here?

If you're simply trying to create a copy of a directory, why not just use the 
command "cp -R <source_folder> <destination_folder>"

Rsync isn't the right tool IMHO to simply copy a daily a file from one place to 
another. 

"Remote Syncronization" only updates the files or dirs tha have changed. Makes 
a lot of sense when faced wit having to move a large amount of data over a slow 
network link in the event of failure.
