After trying all the offered solutions (increasing max_allowed_packet, adding $CFG->dbsessions='false', and updating all tables to Barracuda) The solution was found by going through the course's units and deleting them one by one until we could perform a backup, and we found the problematic content (probably was corrupted).
Not the fastest solution but the best in lack of a better one.
