I presume that you actually mean /home/Mario_1 and /home/Mariao_2
and the Debin and HOMES are the labels of your disks. Those disk labels
have NOTHING to do with the path of the filesdirectories in Linux.

And same with MX.
Ie, these are all just part of /home.

NO, YOu are dreaming in Microsoft, not linux.You have to mount the
partition you call D somewhere in the filesystem. Lets say /local
Then you might have a directory under /local/ called home, so
/local/home. 
rsync -aHv /home/Mario_1 /local/home
would tralfer all the conten of the directory Mario_1 (including the
directory itself) to /local/Mario_1. Since /local/is on partitoin D that
data would all be on partition D.

No idea what you are talking about. What does "placed in" mean. D: is
different partition from B: and you cannot have something that is
simultaneiousl in two partitions.
