        How large are the files this inspection sees, and how is your
system set to handle changing-file backups (copy control)?  It may be
that you're trying to backup large files in shared-dynamic mode while
they're constantly changing..  Are you saturating your # of simultaneous
clients?  Do you have enough licenses (though failure of license is
probably not a TCP/IP failure)?  Is this a regular occurence or a
one-time (possible equipment or networking) failure?

        This depends on the window your backup schedule has listed.
Mine's usually 6 hours.
