I'd normally expect rsync to skip over open files with a warning; you may
be running into a DeltaCopy bug, or it may react badly to certain
semantics for open files.

The "proper" way to copy open files is using Shadow Copies, but rsync
presents an interesting conundrum, because the shadow copy has to be
available before rsync is started, so running an rsync service probably
won't work (unless you go to the trouble or writing your own
rsync-compatible, non-Cygwin, VSS-capable service, I guess.  DeltaCopy is
not such a thing.)

At any rate, there are at least two VSS/rsync based solutions, but I'm not
aware of an rsync service working with open files at all.
