Rsync doesn't have an option to transfer only files with a certain range
of mtimes, and in general I think such fancy file selections should be
made outside of rsync and passed to rsync using --files-from.  Try this
incantation to transfer files at least 7 days old:
	(cd src && find . -atime +6 -print) | rsync --files-from=- src/ dest/
