>rsync is not the right tool for the job if you do not trust the server Why would you ever trust the server not to do bad things?

  I do trust my own server not to misbehave, but I probably would not trust some random server on the internet.

    I've had personal servers compromised. I don't unconditionally trust them either.

    Exactly. I'm usually worried about the opposite scenario (the client infecting the server). If you're copying files from a personal computer it might have all sorts of random software running on it that's accumulated over the years. Whereas on a remote server you tend to have a better security posture, and aren't installing random software and apps. Admittedly, that might just be my personal use case though.
