i want to backup my user folder which is 'ev' which is on the computer i am on via live usb. That folder is 21GB but both the commands move 100+GB.


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo scp -r -P 8855 /media/c4f218a5-68bd-4a4a-994a-8fbbcd869355/home/ev/ ev@192.168.0.101:/home/ev/backupev

and

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo scp -r -P 8855 /media/c4f218a5-68bd-4a4a-994a-8fbbcd869355/home/ev ev@192.168.0.101:/home/ev/backupev

The only difference in these two lines is the '/' after the first 'ev'

To me one of these should move my 21GB ev folder and all subfolders and files it contains into folder backupev on remote machine(my other computer in the office).
