I'd like to backup various specific files and folders from my Mac to a Firewire External drive. please check the following command i would like to use in Terminal to do so.

rsync -aE --delete --exclude-from= ~ backup_excludes.txt ~ /Volumes/Backup_Drive/Backup_Folder || echo -n

Second question. Can I use rsync to save and entire site to my harddrive and if so how would i go about this is is something like this?

rsync http://www.example.com/~example/* ~ Descktop/saved_site

Thank you in advance
