Iain - I have been using (Dantz) Retrospect Remote / Express etc for 
over a decade now, over networks and now just to my personal backup 
devices (external hard drives).

It does everything I need (and more) easily and without these kind of 
errors that you mention.

I run an incremental backup to my HD at home and one to my HD in the 
office at least once every day.

If you accidentally overwrite or delete a file (that is backed up) 
you can restore it in moments.

I have even had a disk partition go south on me (once, a long time 
ago), and I was able to reformat it and copy the latest contents back 
and resume normal operation very quickly.

HTH
