Within the past month as we've started to add Windows hosts to our mix of backups with NetWorker Server version 7.3.2 running under Solaris 10, we've come across a number of cases where some particular volumes refuse to backup successfully. In those instances, the backup will start normally, and after several gigs of data being transfered (seemingly randomly -- 10 GB one day, 200 GB the next) the following error is thrown every time:

* hyperion.ece.gatech.edu:F:\ save: RPC error: RPC send operation failed. A network connection could not be established with the host.

The ONLY proposed solution that I have found for this condition has to do with erroneous DNS entries cached by the client that requires flushing with an 'arp -d' and 'ipconfig /flushdns'. I feel this solution is not appropriate in my situation, after all, the client has no problem starting a new save session with the server until at least 1 hour or more later...

Has anyone encountered something similar? We're running out of ideas!

Thanks in advance!
