Intermittent "Connection error" when trying to do file level restore

New installation of PBS 4.0.14 connected to PX 8.4.14, backups run and complete successfully, but when I try to do 'File Level Restore' about 75% of the time I can't drill down into an actual partition without getting a pop up that just says 'Connection error'. Not sure what to do about it, anyone experienced this?

Hi,
please post the output of /var/log/proxmox-backup/file-restore/qemu.log after a failed file restore and the systemd journal from around that time journalctl --since <DATETIME> --until <DATETIME> > journal.log, both gathered from the PVE host.
