Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.6
PHP version: 5.3.6

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:
I just saw in the changelog that you are recycling the mysql connection to avoid problems with hosts loosing connections, which was what I experienced.
So I thought I would give it a go to see if it worked now.
But it complains about the mysqli not being loaded now as far as I understand it?

That was the first draft of the solution. After some more data from live sites I found that I needed to do something more. I have added the new bugfix in the latest dev release. Can you give it a go and report your results?

Looks much better, I still see some errors in the beginning of the log, and at the end, but as far as I can see it has completed the backup AND cleaned up in the old files...

These warnings are expected. The fix I made detects those warnings (which mean that the MySQL server connection has been terminated by the database server) and re-establish it. Well, it works just fine. Thank you very much for the feedback!

Thankyou for the fix. I'm going to change the cron jobs to use the cli instead...
