Don't use rsync directly; use one of the backup systems that already provide the functionality you want (and use rsync internally).
I use dirvish, I know of rdiff-backup, I expect there are others. I don't know which are in current opensuse distributions.
rdiff-backup does not actually use rsync ;)
My favourite one is rsnapshot - http://www.rsnapshot.org/ , it's part of the
distribution.
If you feel it's too complicated to set up, take a look at rsnap -
http://daniel.lorch.cc/projects/rsnap/ , a package for OpenSUSE is available
from my repository in the OpenSUSE Build Service.
