Download an entire Amazon EC2 instance to local host using rsync

rsync -av --progress -e 'ssh -i /path/to/user.pem' \
--rsync-path='sudo rsync' --exclude='/dev/' --exclude='/proc/' --exclude='/sys/' \
[email protected]:/* /local/path/

Actually, this doesn't download the instance itself, but its file system contents.
