I doubt you get anything useful this way wrt Windows 10 system files : these files have special attributes which rsync cannot process. You should restrict rsync to only process user files.

I have examined one such file (HxAccounts.exe), it is system compressed
and probably all files from the same directory also are. If you want to
read them, you need the "system compressed" plugin (ntfs-
plugin-80000017.so). With the plugin, rsync will copy them in
uncompressed form, and it will lose the attributes
$KERNEL.PURGE.ESBCACHE and $KERNEL.PURGE.APPXFICACHE which have some
meaning (unknown to me) for Windows, so the copy cannot serve as a
backup.

I do not know whether Ubuntu has packaged the system compression plugin.

Title:
  ntfs: unsupported reparse point

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I recently updated my Windows-10 to the 1709 edition. Scanning the
  file system with Ubuntu, I get "unsupported reparse point" errors.
  Searching the web indicates that ntfs cannot handle certain files.

  I am running Ubutu-Mate 17.10:

  uname -r: 4.13.0-16-generic

  lsb_release -rcid:
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 17.10
  Release:	17.10
  Codename:	artful

  I include a file which runs ntfsinfo on a file where I get the "unsupported reparse point" message:
  sudo ntfsinfo -F /Windows/hh.exe /dev/sda1 >unsupported_reparse_point.txt

  while mounted: I issue ls -l <mount_point>/Windows/hh.exe 
  ls -l Windows/hh.exe 
  lrwxrwxrwx 2 .. .. 25 Sep 29 14:41 Windows/hh.exe -> unsupported reparse point

  I expect to see either a resolved link or a length for the file in
  question.
