@Arie
Thank you! So this should automatically back up my orig files then and I could copy via USB to a safe folder, correct? Sorry for such a stupid question. I just want to make sure I don't falter

Is that it?

try cp -R /usr /home/user/MyDocs, see if that works

No usr directory was copied in the root with the first command.
Doing the second command, cp -R /usr /home/user/MyDocs
gave this:
'can't stat ' - ' : So such fiile or directory'
'cant stat ' R " : no such file or directory'
Oh well, I'll just go ahead and copy F2thaK's files instead...

I just thought that was what the R did...

cp - copies on or more files. Recursive copying is one simple way of archiving part of a directory structure. Use the command as follows:
cp -r /sourcedirectory /targetdirectory

cp -R is copy recursive, not copy and remove, a bit of googling helped, but I could be wrong.
