Hi there

Did you resolve this? We’ve just had a backup that ran for years start failing with this error about a week ago.

We’re running 5.7 and 2.4.28 in Docker.

I thought it might be something to do with table size, and we had a huge table that was a temporary backup that I got rid of.

It’s worked once since I got rid of the big table but it’s gone back to failing again

Any clues gratefully received

Thank you
