 * I’m having trouble backing up (first time this has happened). Here’s the error
   message:
 * ERROR: Database Server has gone away, unable to schedule next backup step. The
   backup cannot continue. This is most often caused by mysql running out of memory
   or timing out far too early. Please contact your host.
 * It doesn’t have an accompanying error message.
 * Any advice would be appreciated!!!!!
