I believe rsync will know not to backup files that have already been backed up.
From man pages:
Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, or
to/from a remote rsync daemon. It offers a large number of options that control every aspect of its behavior and permit very flexible
specification of the set of files to be copied. It is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent
over the network by sending only the differences between the source files and the existing files in the destination. Rsync is widely
used for backups and mirroring and as an improved copy command for everyday use.
Hope this helps

ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd
OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7) OCF resource agents OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7)
NAME
ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd - Manages an rsync daemon
SYNOPSIS
rsyncd [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]
DESCRIPTION
This script manages rsync daemon
SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
binpath
The rsync binary path. For example, "/usr/bin/rsync"
(optional, string, default "rsync")
conffile
The rsync daemon configuration file name with full path. For example, "/etc/rsyncd.conf"
(optional, string, default "/etc/rsyncd.conf")
bwlimit
This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. This option is most effective when using rsync with
large files (several megabytes and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of data are sent, then if rsync determines the
transfer was too fast, it will wait before sending the next data block. The result is an average transfer rate equaling the specified
limit. A value of zero specifies no limit.
(optional, string, no default)
SUPPORTED ACTIONS
This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):
start
Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
stop
Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
monitor
Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 60s.
validate-all
Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
meta-data
Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.
EXAMPLE
The following is an example configuration for a rsyncd resource using the crm(8) shell:
primitive p_rsyncd ocf:heartbeat:rsyncd
op monitor depth="0" timeout="20s" interval="60s"
