The script is running on the same server as the database. However I am using hostname to connect to the database. Could I be having problems with tcp_keepalives parameter settings? These are currently set to use the OS defaults which would be CentOS settings.

I also do not see anything in the backup file that indicates what is happening. Is the entire process occurring on the same host, or is across a network? If the latter, could it be due to timeouts from ssh, or tunnels, or internal load balancers/connection poolers?
