Thanx Shyam for a quick reply, 

Backup of other Filesystems on same host is fine. Only it failed with large no. 
of files. 
How much should be the inactivity time out. I have set it to 60 min but still 
it fails. 
Is there any harm if I leave it 0 (no inactivity time limit)?

Thanx & Regards,
Shahid
