let's see.... I can make it NOT check the newness of the file by removing the 'u' option so it looks like :

rsync -aWq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk  /home/bmike1/Documents

So I think that will do it! Am I correct?

Is it as simple as:

rsync -aWuq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk  /home/bmike1/Documents

I didn't say this before because I thought rsync checked the "newness" of th file.

Then again if I fix the WM (and possibly driver) I'll have no loss of data....

You were oh so right Brian. I had changed the window manager in / home. Now whenever I restore root nothing is fixed. I will NEVER do a dist-upgrade again. Everytime I have my system crashes! Now I am trying to restore my home directory which was created with rsync. The exact command was:

rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk

What would the command be to restore My home directory. I figure it is easier to restore home (which I had just recently update) than to fix the window manager.
