I have a weekly SQL backup job that fails about once a month. Does anyone have any ideas?

Please upgrade to version 5.3, as it contains a fix that addresses this issue. Note that you're already using version 5, although you've posted your question to the version 4 forum. Version 4 did not include the THREADCOUNT option.
