sadly the error appeared this night and the logfiles don't give any more information I think. In one session I get a part that is succeeded and the next part failed:

This looks like something different is happening at the other end of the connection. Can you check the logs there to see if a connection reached it and was rejected for some reason?   One quirk with rsync is that it will fail if the remote login prints something before starting the rsync program but it seems unlikely to only do it at certain times.
