unexpected EOF in read_timeout

[Dave Dykstra]

That error message can be caused by anything which causes the remote side
to go away, so it's not very helpful.  The server's log file may have more
information.  It is possible that you're running out of RAM as is
susggested in that FAQ-O-Matic thread; rsync uses up some memory for every
file in a run, so if you can split it up into smaller transfers that can
help a lot.  Watch the available RAM & swap space on the server side during
a transfer.
