You may also want the '--delete' option to remove files from the destination.

I would also recommend investigating rdiff-backup, which in addition
to maintaining the most recent copy as a file tree that you can copy
from as normal also maintains history so that you can recover file
states at previous invocations of the command.  I run it nightly, and
use the --remove-older-than option to prune it so that I maintain a
rolling 30 days of history.
