SQLBackup and FTP Backup error

To Whom it may concern

My backup program have given this error yesterday. We have an hourly backup running on our SQL database with SQLBackupandFTP. The data is stored in a network location called g:\IT\Backups\Hourly. Yesterday we had a brief backup failure in the morning, but after I logged on and did a manual backup in SQL Studio Manager, the problem seem to have resolved itself. Herewith the error message and also logged in Event Viewer.

Have this happened to anyone before? Is there something that I need to check on my side?

Please let me know if you require further details.
