Check logs on the client for hardware issues (dmesg, /var/log/messages, /nsr/logs/*). Then, if all seems well, run a tar on the file system in question and make sure it is able to walk the entire file system.

tar cvf - / | cat > /dev/null

Another issue might be a firewall between the client and server with a connection table time out too short for your session. The solution is to increase the timeout (if possible) or enable TCP keep alive on your server. This is my setup:

# more /etc/rc2.d/S93nettwicks
#!/bin/sh

# Helps to solve RPC errors under heavy load.

 /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q 1024
 /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0 4096

# Should help with backups thru firewall

 /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 600000

HI,

My Networker Server is Solaris and my client is linux.

I am trying to run a backup on this client however it fails everytime.

The backup starts nice, and backs up some 110 GB data and then says lost 
connection to server.
it just retries and then fails, tried running manual, same result.
I m getting connection lost message evry now and then. the total data on system 
is 275 gb, one saveset only, backup speed is good throughout. almost 25-50 MBps

RPC send operation failed; errno = Broken pipe

this is another error i got from daemon.og


Any help is appreciated.
