You're already doing this with --archive..since it assumes --times. So only those files that are newer than the destination will copy. Keep in mind to check the time of your boxes (ntp a huge plus here)
- Do you want only push files that have updated in a timeframe you choose?
If you're wanting to do something that only sends files that have been updated in a timeframe which you set, you might want to consider a staging script to analyze which files you need to send...thn use rsync to send them.
- Maybe I'm way off?
Thanks!
