Error 42 - SQL Backup

I am consistently getting an Error Code 42 during backups of a critical server. I have checked the host properties and they are correct (Master and Media Servers have been added). It is my impression that Error 42 can occur when there is heavy processing on the target server during the backup. I have noticed this on other servers in the past. Can anyone confirm that this is the case. Also any other suggestions of what I can do to troubleshoot this problem is appreciated.

We have recently seen status 42 on a particular Windows client. Updating the NIC driver solved the problem.

Thanks for your feedback, I have asked Networking to confirm if latest drivers are installed.
