I've spent ages going though logs and turning debugging to max. There is no
error message returned at all. The connection handle is returned as NULL.
This is in the php functions though so their pg_last_error() function may
not be catching all error messages but it seems it should pass on every
error. It is just really weird. The weirder thing i find is the fact it is
doing this a lot more often while backups are running than when they arn't
running. 80% of the time when it is reported by users a backup is running
at the same time.
