I get the following error when trying to backup my site:

"The mysqli error was: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0."

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This sounds like a general MySQL configuration issue. I'm not familiar with this specific one, but it looks like it's not that unusual:

It might be similar to http://drupal.org/node/259580 - MySQL: "Warning: MySQL server has gone away"
