Look if the occurrence is matching with incr/differential backup
schedules
on big volumes : I experienced more than once that incr/differential
backups of big volumes to cause inactivity time-outs and backup
to be aborted, networker not receiving data fast enough because
save was walking down the big volume retrieving modified files
or because disks were I/O saturated (caused by Anti-Virus Scan).

The same trouble can also be caused by big files from {slow}
client, networker not getting CFI updates fast enough in the time
range and then times-out.

You can give a try to increase group inactivity to avoid that problem.

HTH,

Thierry

What is the cause though?  It happens from time to time and it really
ticks me off.  I have multiple "incomplete savesets" listed under
details.  What is the best way to troubleshoot this type of problem?

Cheers,
Jim

look for the 'save' process on the client side and kill it (Unix) or
stop it (Windows). I had this issue lots of time.

On the networker GUI go to Group Control
if there is a group still running check it with the Details option is
there a client still pending?

if it is not critical you can stop the group there with the stop button
(my gui is on unix)
