I had a similar problem and found out it was caused by a buggy NIC driver; rolled back to prior version and things worked fine. The NIC was going into sleep mode because it thought nothing was happening; it ignored the power setting that it was not to go into standby. So check the power settings for the NIC.

I that does not solve the problem, please provide information on the NAS being used. Also, does the backup configuration use a mapped drive, NAS IP address, or NAS device name?
