CentOS - Dec 2009 - restoring using rysnc

Hi,

My backup server (B) has a /backup/home and I'd like to restore
/backup/home/userX to /home/userX in my server A

I am trying to do with in the server where I want to restore.

rsync -e ssh -avzp -R --exclude "*.journal"
backup_server:/backup/home/userX/ /home/userX

But it is creating a /home/userX/backup/home/userX

What am I doing wrong?

Trailing slashes & `-R`... Rather than repeat what smarter folk wrote better
than I,
type man rsync, then `/trailing` and give it a look. Then catch the relative
part
for -R.
