Is this a Windows environment?
If so, I remember one other circumstance which caused this; actually two.
When NAV was actively scanning filesystems on this particular server, we
would see those errors during FULL backups. Once I rescheduled full
backups to a day/time when NAV wasn't running, the problem went away. In
my case, we were backing up ~600G, and NAV would typically take a couple
of day to finish.
The second probably doesn't apply, but I'll put it out there. There was
another Windows box (Compaq) which had NIC teaming configured. Pretty
frequently, the job would die with 41 errors. Once we disabled NIC
teaming, the problem went away. Veritas confirmed that they didn't play
nice with Compaq NIC teaming, specifically, but other NIC drivers were fine.

What do the all log entries and problems with backups reports show?

Are you sure that your network connections are "shutting down"? What
gives you that impression?
Some hints where NBU and network connectivity are concerned:
- make sure that both server NIC and switch port are hard set to 1000FDX
- increase client connection timeout to something like 4500
- increase client read timeout to something like 4500
- increase bpstart timout to something like 2500
- have you tweaked network buffers?
Other than that, it sounds like your running NBU under Windows, which my
knowledge of is extremely limited. Maybe some others on the list can add
some suggestions.
HTH,
