Remote rsync question

[Walter Dnes]

  The goal is to copy most of my home directory to another machine.  In
this case machine "aa1" (Acer Aspire One) over ssh.  Is the following
format correct?
 
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/waltdnes/
rm /home/waltdnes/rsync_log.txt /home/waltdnes/rserrors*.txt
rsync --archive --links --group --itemize-changes --owner \
      --perms --progress --recursive --size-only --stats --verbose \
      --exclude-from=/home/waltdnes/.rsexclude \
      --log-file=/home/waltdnes/rsync_log.txt \
      /home/waltdnes/ aa1:/home/waltdnes/ 2>/root/rserrors1.txt

.rsexclude would have entries like...
/home/waltdnes/camera
