Notice that 'home' has slashes both left and right. This is important
to rsync.
Follow with rsync of other directories in /. E.g. /etc, /boot, /root,
etc.
Do NOT do #> rsync -a /media/ /media/USB/target ;-(
Too much work. Use:
rsync -vaHz --exclude '/proc' --exclude '/sys'
--exclude '/media' / /media/USB/target
