Timeout error on large backups

I'm getting this error on my larger database backups (backup file size is in 10gig or larger):

(from SQL Backup Error Log file):SQL Backup log file

SQL Backup Version 5.1.0.2781
SQL Server Version 8.00.2039
Server OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition Service Pack 1
Hardware: IBM XSeries_460 3GHzx16 processors, 9727MB Ram

Backup destination is a SAN: \\10.1.1.100\f$\MOBAC02. There is no permission problem with the backup path.

All log file backups seem fine, and the smaller full database backups work. This problem appears with the largest full database backups.
