If you are getting the error ERROR 2006 (HY000) at line 447: MySQL server has gone away when you are trying to restore any MySQL backup on your command prompt. Try following
Open the my.ini in C:\Windows\ or mysql/bin/my.cnf on XAMPP installation and modify the max_allowed_packet to a higher value. (Probably higher than your backup file size)
