You could create a script like this and store it appropriately somewhere
under your home dir:
- ---------------
#!/bin/sh
TARGETDIR=/home/myname/usbstick
rsync -qrRlpogt --delete /media/sda1 $TARGETDIR
- ---------------
And then create a link to it on your desktop or on the kicker whichever
suits you the best.
Executing the script at regualar intervals is also possible but would
probably a waste of resources.
As you see will observe this is one-way-syncing from the stick to your home
directory. the --delete will remove files from the target directory that do
not reside on the stick any longer. Remove this parameter if you don't want
this.
Best regards
Jan
