You could
1.) create a file with a list of such files with find and use the
"--exclude-from=" of rsync to exclude them, or
2.) you could make another backup of the modified files, restore
everything and then restore the modified files from the other
backup.
I'd go for 2.) because I'd make another backup of the modified files
first anyway.
