I thought, rsync only looks at the modification date of a file and
decides whether to backup this file or not.

By default, it does not, in fact it's REAL usefullness it's that uit 
examines the content of the file to send just what is needed, 
differently from other mirroring software.

But beside this rsync offers the mechanism for incremental mirroring on
file bases over the network, so I think it makes sence to enhance rsync
with the encryption option on destination files.
Its better than tar -cvf - / | pgp | ssh user@destinationhost
