[Box Backup] Troubleshooting "Connection TLSWriteFailed 7/33" on OS X server/client setup

[Ben Summers]

I don't think you've answered my question about whether the Mac OS X  
machine running bbackupd ever sleeps. If it does, I think that's your  
answer. If it goes to sleep while connected to the server, the  
connection will time out. KeepAlive won't help as the CPU is not  
running the code.
