learning all sorts of neat stuff about rsync!

did you know there is a '--progress' option?

What exactly does the '-h' option do. I'm thinking I should include it but of what I've read so far a satisfactory explanation hasn't been presented.

to make the directories identical (say I deleted/moved a file) I would add '--delete' so it would look like:

rsync -aquz --compress-level=5 --delete /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/USB DISK/

Right?

I know how to use rsync (sorta) to backup a disk and go between remote machines. With my current incarnation of the os I'm not so worried about backing up the whole system as I am a directory (and all of the directories under it) nor copying between remote machines. The directory is the 'Documents' directory. Would I:

rsync -aquz --compress-level=5 /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/USB DISK/
