You can't rsync to devices ... you have to mount it first
It may already be mounted ... look in /media/
If it is not mounted there then create a directory and mount it ...
mkdir /media/some_name mount /dev/sda1 /media/some_name
(it is likely mounted when plugged in c4 or c5 though)

What is the device name for a USB drive? I want to rsync some files to it and I have completely forgotten the device name!
/usr/bin/rsync -av --exclude=".*" -e ssh /home/ /dev/???????/
Because these are managed as SCSI drives, the names are /dev/sda[1...], /dev/sdb[1...],...
Many thanks....
