Not that it matters now, but if you use rsync with the -a switch, it 
preserves file permissions and times.  I use it all the time for copying 
files, both locally and from the network.  Assuming your USB drive is 
mounted under /media/1 and the drive you're copying to is under /media/2, a 
command like this should work:

rsync -av /media/1 /media/2

The -v switch turns on verbose output and isn't necessary, but I like to 
know the current file being copied and the speed.  The -a switch stands for 
archive and turns on the permissions preservation.
