This is maybe a bit off topic, but I've recently set up 3 new server. All have Intel e1000 NICs, and all had different network errors. * e1000 with 82573E chipset: wrong EEPROM value -> updated EEPROM with ethtool * all e1000 NICs: TCP Segmentation Offload not working correctly -> disabled with ethtool * all e1000 NICs: default vm.min_free_kbytes value too small -> increased vm.min_free_kbytes to 16384 Some of the errors occured everytime I did a benchmark with netpip/netio, some only occured infrequently during backup or with certain applications. Sometimes the e1000 device just hang for a couple of seconds. The interesting messages were always in the kernel log. I've also see switches behaving very strange. Maybe testing the backup with a direct connection between two computers would be a good idea too (I've not followed the thread completely, maybe this already happend...).
