## Troubleshooting
### Broken pipe with remote repository
When running atticmatic on a large remote repository, you may receive errors
like the following, particularly while "attic check" is valiating backups for
consistency:
Write failed: Broken pipe
attic: Error: Connection closed by remote host
This error can be caused by an ssh timeout, which you can rectify by adding
the following to the ~/.ssh/config file on the client:
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 120
This should make the client keep the connection alive while validating
backups.
