Got same problem rsync-ing to some low cost NAS and, of course, windows share.

My solution is to tar.gz before copying to Windows.

Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control,
genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing
every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred
years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow
cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take
Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly,
and Aristophanes... [and] all of this... all of this... was for nothing.
Unless we go to the stars.
