It's  cp -R <source> <target>

The -R means "recursive", i.e. look in all the subdirectories too. I  
forget where your home directory was, but you want something like:

sudo cp -R /Users/me /mnt/osx2/backup-me

It shouldn't matter what's in there, but with the OS X / Ubuntu cross- 
over, it's possible that super-long file names, or some other really  
weird thing (like file names with foreign language characters in the  
name) could goof it up. A file named NO Name.dmg should be OK.
