I want to run rsync on server A to copy all files from Server B when they are newer than 7 days.(find . -mtime -7)

I don't want to delete the files on Server B.

Thanks for you help.

a) I think this does belong to serverfault. – phresnel Jun 14 '11 at 13:53
b) how often do you run rsync? – phresnel Jun 14 '11 at 13:53

This should get you underway in a solid way

rsync -RDa0P \
    --files-from=<(find sourcedir/./ -mtime -7 -print0) \
    . user@B:targetdir/

This copies device nodes, permissions, timestamps. I'm pretty sure the -H option won't be accurate with --files-from
