Re: ANS4017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure

You should try the various suggestions already mentioed here on the forum.
In addition, the Version 3 client has the ability to "retry, continuing
where it left off".  This means that if you lose the communication session,
the client will try to re-establish the connection with the server, and
continue restoring the files from where it stopped.

But it is preferable to solve any server/client issues if you can.

Cheers,
Brett
