What does it mean exactly when a saveset "unexpectedly exited"

Most probably it is timeout issue as mentioned before, TCP Start Timeout seems to affects the initial nsrexecd (client side) <-> nsrexec (server side) connection. In order to prevent this from occurrence, the NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT variable can be set on the NetWorker Client so that a keep alive packet can be sent between the nsrexecd and nsrexec connection.

To use NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT (to prevent the nsrexecd <-> nsrexec connection dropping)

On the NetWorker client:

1. Right mouse click on My Computer and select Properties
2. Click on the Environment Variables button.
3. Create a new SYSTEM variable
4. In the variable name field enter NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT
5. In the variable value field enter a value in seconds which is less than the timeout value on the firewall for the TCP Start Timeout. (i.e. if TCP Start Timeout = 60 seconds, set NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT value = 900 secs

Also make sure that there is no firewall issues between Networker server and the client . Also the NIC settings is set to Full Duplex instead of Auto.
