 For the most recent versions of Fedora that has changed.

 It is now, /etc/rc.d/rc.local*And*  that file must be set executable.

 This is noted in /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service 
I found that rc-local.service was not run consistently.

Create a crontab *as root* and use the @reboot command for cron.

ie a line like '@reboot /usr/local/sbin/my-startup-backup.sh

Regarding this:
rsync -av --delete /home/programmers/Labels/*.java /media/saved_lab
  rsync -avr --delete /home/programmers/Labels/*.java /media/saved_lab

The message that I get is :

sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat 
"/home/programmers/java/PROJECTS_development/Labels/*.java" failed: No 
such file or directory

There is something very wrong here. I suspect that you have edited the 
command lines in your example, since rsync should only be looking in and 
below /home/programmers/Labels  and NOT in /home/programners/java

As noted in the link posted, you should look at rsync's --include and 
--exclude files.

Although if this is a backup situation, maybe the -u (--update) switch 
is what you really need. Using '-au' will find all files which have been 
updated relative to the destination version. (And you may then want to 
use --delete-after.).
