Explanation of parameters used:
On some disks that's been formatted on a non-Windows system, this seems to help.  If it's physically corrupt (some SD card brands are prone to early defect) then it may be time to get a replacement via RMA or get a new one.
-a: archive - preserve permissions, ownership, and timestamps
-v: verbose
-z: compress

This one is between different servers.
