Some good practices with rsync:
 - if you've got doubt about the command line, run rsync -nv (+ other
   options) in order to get it to do a dry run (print out what it is
   going to do, but take no action)
 - pass the -x flag (rsync -avnx for the dry-run, rsync -avx or rsync
   -ax for the real deal) for moving data between partitions and the
   like: -x limits it to one filesyste
