No, rsync is a swiss army knife for file copy tasks. There are many many different options to the rsync exe, so there is almost nothing what can't be done in this respect.

With rsync you can do:
1) normal file copies, without the incremental feature
2) copy only files with newer date in the source as in the destination
3) copy file from the source if the MD5SUM is different from the one in the destination
4-9999) read the man page, luke

All these modes are controlled by command line switches, e.g. you need to turn on md5 checksums.
Normal operation is just comparing the times.
And especially creating backups to another disk where only some files changed rsync is your tool.

And rsync can copy file just from one directory to another in the same filesystem, or copy files over the network. No limitation here.

Conclusion: there is no reason why not to use rsync on the N2100. It is not slower than just normal cp.
