   Create a testing account, say junk. Log into junk, use mkdir -p   
   $HOME/some/dirs.   
   Use touch to create a few files like   
   $HOME/some/dirs/f1   
   $HOME/some/dirs/f2   
   $HOME/some/dirs/f3   
      
   Now run   
   rsync-aAvx --delete $HOME/some/dirs/ $HOME/bkup   
   ls -al $HOME/bkup   
   ls -al $HOME/bkup/*   
   ls -al $HOME/bkup/*/*   
      
   rm $HOME/some/dirs/f2   
      
   A few up arrows to rerun the rsync command   
   and see what you can see.  :)

   For your everyday user type files. That will work. rsync can get links   
   and acls (Access Control List) with the additional feature of removing   
   files in target/destination which are not in from/source partition.
