Hi Craig
Thanks for that information. I'm using ClamWin which I thought doesn't
do online scanning, only as per schedules created. Anyway I'll try and
disable the the AV and see if any difference is achieved. At the moment
I want to keep it simple and allow BackupPC to take care of the music
and image directories. 

Thanks
Peter

This is the well-known timeout in smbclient caused by antivirus
software having to scan large files in the directory.  This
causes smbclient to exit and the backup stops.

Disabling AV should solve the problem; perhaps you can have it
skip your music directories?

Tim Demarest reported several years ago that he could change
the hard-coded timeout value in smbclient to avoid this issue.
