yes.

"same" means that rsync determined that the file is unchanged since the
reference backup so no data was transferred. "pool" means that BackupPC
found a file with identical content in the pool and thus created a link
to the pool file instead of independently storing the transmitted data
in a new file (i.e. rsync saw a change and transferred data).

That seems to translate to "connection reset by peer" meaning the TCP
connection was dropped by the remote end. Either rsync closed the
connection for whatever reason, the host running rsync rebooted, or a
firewall inbetween timed out the connection, usually because no data
was exchanged for some amount of time (e.g. when comparing large files
or building a file list).

Hint: you probably have an incorrect language setting somewhere which
*may* case problems elsewhere, because BackupPC doesn't understand the
error messages of an external program, though I very much doubt that is
the issue here.

Difficult to say. Is it always the same file? Is it a large file? Does
it change regularly? How often do you get the error? Is there possibly
something external related to it (e.g. DSL provider hangup, bandwidth
used by other processes, server reboot, ...)?

Hope that helps.
