I don't think you can do what you want with --remove-older-than.
however you could probably exclude the files based on their extension or 
regexp? there is the --exclude-regexp and --exclude-globbing-filelist to 
help you there. You could also run some combo of find and grep and maybe 
file to produce the list of excludes before each backup. then just 
reverse the process for the alternate backup of the binaries
