Aborting process and Getting VM info from vSphere Error: Socket has been forcibly closed. Failed to recover connection.

Backing up to NFS target (NFS to an intermediate Linux server which has DD620 NFS mounted).
Being a non-profit, We is too poe to baa production support, so it'll be days and days before support gets back to me. One time it was a week for a backup that was continually failing. Great stuff.
