    I have seen code 41 for a incremental backup when some directories contain million of files. The full backup does not need to evaluate every file but the incremental does.  The evaluation takes longer that the media server has patience, and then  be lives the connection is dead and ends with code 41.

    Try increasing  CLIENT_READ_INTERVAL  to 7200 (or even more)  on the client and see if it resolves the issue

    Best Regards

    Is incremental backup schedule defined in same policy or there is a different policy

    Hi,
    Try and increase the "client read interval"
    Can be found on the GUI -> Host Properties -> Clients ; then double click the client to open the client properties window the click timeouts... Give it more time for time outs.
    NB: If this is not the issue, the backup might take long to fail/timeout...

    Also you might want to check this document:

    Hope this helps

    The bpsched error tells me you're still on 5.x?
    Double-check that Client Job Tracker is disabled: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/267253.htm

     NIc card set to auto?  switch port set to 10 - 100 or 1000 - check youre network.

    is the client installed on the client?

    is it a windoes box?  reboot it !!
