No version of rsync I've met or read about maintains a history of and a 
delta of the file changes over time within the backup target, nor does 
any version allow file or directory or disk restorations based on the 
original backup time.  rsync is a nice tool for folks using the command 
line and that want to synchronize directories.   But it's not directly 
analogous to Time Machine.
