    The last time I saw a 636 error it had nothing to do with bpsynth.

    This was the issue, http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH214335

    Which was the same as http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH197144

    The root cause here was that the tcp keep alive timeout on the media server and master server were higher than the firewall.

    NBJM timeouts and writes the message into the detailed status without the timestamp.

    The only reason I can think that this would fail only on a incremental schedule is if that schedule is using a different storage unit/ media server than the full backup is using.  Check to see if this pattern is there and then investigate the timeout setting on both Operating System.
