This approach to keeping old versions of files around is not very general: it
handles only deletions, and then only if the file happened to be modified in
the 30 days before the deletion (as you noted).  I don't think support for this
will be added to rsync.

The recommended approach is to maintain a rotating series of hard-linked
backups using --link-dest.  There are several programs that will do this for
you, such as rsnapshot.
