You can use "newer" options of the find command and pass the file list to rsync or scp to "backup" only those files that have changed since the last run. You can keep a file like .lastbackup and timestamp it (touch) at the start of the backup process. Next backup you compare the current timestamp with the timestamp on this file.
Absolutely none of that is necessary with rsync, and the process you described is likely to miss files that are modified while "find" runs.
If you're going to use rsync to make backups, just use a frontend like rsnapshot or backuppc.
