Thanks for feedback.

After doing a little bit research I found that the application (Apache
Tomcat) and backup (Veritas NetBackup) was running during the copy
job.

What influence have a running Tomcat and NetBackup on rsync?
What rsync (running as root) do if there are read-only files?

That's generally not a problem, but you'll get a snapshot of changing files, like growing logfiles, and if a file is deleted while still open it will still consume space on the source as seen by 'df' until the application closes it or exits but it won't be copied.
