Apologies and please ignore previous message.

Networker v7.3.3 both server and client are Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4
and have been working (not flawlessly, but well).

I have a saveset that has started having problems completing normally.
The following lines are from the notification output:

* lxdwtprod-gb.osti.gov:/var 1 retry attempted
* lxdwtprod-gb.osti.gov:/var lost connection to server, exiting

The daemon.log output with more detail is as follows:

This saveset started failing over the weekend on incrementals and level
5's.  I first tried a manual backup of only that saveset incrementally
and had the same result.  Approx. 4GB would backup and then it would sit
for 1-2 hours before aborting.  I then changed it to do a full backup
which successfully performed to completion and that evening the normally
scheduled incremental was successful.  Then again last night, the
scheduled incremental failed.  Is this familiar to anyone? Ideas on what
to tackle?
