Yes, I know. I just started Nautilus as root and used the mouse. I guess
didn't think that through before going to action. The -a flag works with
the cp command too, so I guess rsync isn't even necessary in simple cases
as this one.

I use it all the time too, in my own daily backup script, which I used to
get the files to the USB drive in the first place. I didn't include recover
in my backup script though, since that operation is so rare. So far it has
been years between each time I would need to recover anything.

Thanks for your input!
