He's backing up....

We get this sometimes on backup, randomly with servers with plenty of space.
We shrug and start teh backup again, it's like restores just stopping
without completing. We have never put the time is to try and work out any
commonality.

How many processors does your server have?
Did you run out of disk space on the backup drive?
