All,

    All of our full backups work perfectly except with 2 of our
clients.   Both give error messages that look like this:

> * easter:/easter 2 retries attempted
> * easter:/easter save: RPC error: RPC send operation failed.  A network 
> connection could not be established with the host.
> * easter:/easter lost connection to server, exiting
>   
And both partitions are the only partitions having single files larger
than 40G.   Could size be the issue here.   Right now I'm running an indexed
archive on the file system in question on one of the computers.

Just to note, the other filesystems on these machines back up successfully.
And incremental/5/7 backups go off without a hitch.

Server is running FC and Networker 7.2.1.

Thanks in advance!

                                                    Matt
