That doesn't make any sense for anything rsyncd would have done. My
guess is that you have some underlying filesystem or hardware
corruption that you didn't hit with normal access.

VSS gives you a frozen snapshot that you can copy without contention
of worrying about changes. It doesn't protect against future
corruption or other problems with that disk or filesystem.
