Yes/no? This is the predefined mode when rsync is used locally, for example for copying from one dir to another. But if you copy between servers, and you have a good configuration, rsync can check for differences even if date and size are the same It use crc check, and md4 to recognize which part of the file remain the same and are not to be transferred.
