This is the solution. I have archives that take days to create (they're
about 3TB big before compression) and I have to crank the ClientTimeout
*way* high.
I've tried figuring out a way to get the archive process to reset the
ClientTimeout timer while the archive is running (like backups do, I
believe), but I have yet to hit on a successful way of doing it... :(
If anyone's interested, I can share details of what I've tried, as well as
accepting any suggestions to try.
