Rsync has a couple of useful options:  --dry-run and --ignore-existing. 
  I'm not sure if the rsync-perl module supports those options, but if 
it did you could use those options in your restore command (combined 
with --verbose) to output a list of files that rsync would restore if 
you weren't using the --dry-run option.

Note that using --ignore-existing will cause rsync to miss any files on 
your system that were corrupted by the backup, but not completely lost. 
  Hmm, maybe --ignore-times would be more appropriate than 
--ignore-existing if you're concerned about corrupted files...
