restore with rsync or fix window manager

[Michael Havens]

I just learned the -W option is default unless you are transfering over a
network. So the new command  is:

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

Hmmm... I was just looking at the '-a' option and see that it does the -D
option (--devices) which man says is 'preserve device files (superuser
only). Does that mean I need to run it as root   and further does it mean I
need to run the backup as root? Then again /home shouldn't have any device
files so I guess the -D option is moot in my case. Could I get an answer in
case I ever want to do a full backup?
