 * Hello – I’m running a backup job on a client’s site. It gets to the point of ‘
   Compressing files as ZipArchive’ – and I then get the following error repeated:
 * WARNING: Error while sending QUERY packet.
 * The site is on a fairly bog-standard shared server. Is this warning likely to
   be down to the max_allowed_packet setting?
 * Thanks.
