 * Daily overnight backups fail, manual backups fail
    Usually a timeout after 8-
   9 minutes with an unknown error.
 * Here is my latest log:

 * Please can you try 3.0.3 we tried to implement some better handling of unknown
   errors.
 * Failing that I’m working on a trace version to make a log file to see what’s 
   happening and when and if we can improve on it.
