3 things that have given me grief due to the windows FD stopping or being 
unresponsive (but still mysteriously running)...
a) buggy network driver--in one case I was able to update the driver to fix.
b) bad network switch or network port
c) infection with a virus/malware that was using up the "max tcp 
connections".  Check the event log for that error.
d) regex in the fileset had a bug but that's been fixed around bacula 
version 2.5 or so.  Along the way I learned that regex was slower to 
process than wilddir and wildfile so I stopped using it for windows 
filesets anyway.

In all cases these issues caused the windows FD to stop during a backup, so 
I hope this helps but if not, you may have to turn on debugging in the FD 
and cross your fingers that it happens and logs what went wrong.
