I suspect this type of error relates to long idle times on the socket connection between the remote rsync and the local File::RsyncP. Rsync protocol version 29 introduced a keep-alive message that is sent periodically. Unfortunately protocol version 29 introduces a number of the changes that File::RsyncP doesn't yet support - it's still at version 28. I'm surprised this is ever needed since TCP connections should stay alive - perhaps this depends upon the network equipment between the machines. Of course, if you are running over a WAN, VPAN or perhaps WLAN you might have an unreliable connection. You might try breaking your backup into smaller pieces and hopefully each piece survives, or otherwise use tar.
