Using the NAS for TimeMachine backups. Mac is running 10.9.5

The NAS had been up and running fine for several weeks after I upgraded to v9.3

Now I'm seeing the following behavior.

While time machine is trying to backup to the NAS.
it looks like the backup stalls, there is no network traffic.
I see the following errors on the FreeNas console-
Jan 29 07:43:57 Fusion_NAS afpd[41588]: alarm: child timed out, entering disconnected state
Jan 29 07:44:18 Fusion_NAS afpd[41617]: afp_alarm: child timed out, entering connected state
Jan 29 07:46:27 Fusion_NAS afpd[41588]:afp_alarm: child timed out, entering connected state
Jan 29 07:50:57 Fusion_NAS afpd[41588]:afp_alarm: child timed out, entering connected state
(this message is repeated every few minutes)

Did you figure this out? If not, did the IP address change or was there some sort of network blip when the error occurred?

The network is stable. No IP address's have changed.

I'm not sure if I figured it out or not. When I checked the server the next morning it had crashed.
After rebooting I saw the same errors.
I then tried to rebuild the appledouble databases with - dbd -rf /path/to share.
This completed successfully.

I have not seen the afp_alarm errors since the rebuild.
But the server had crashed again 1 day after the rebuild.
I'm not sure how to grab the logs to determine why it crashed.

I am having the same problems with my TimeMachine backups. It stalls and its super slow to upload. It seems fine when you first set it up but after the first disconnect (put my Macbook to sleep or shut it down) it starts going slow and stalling when it reconnects.
