Can you do a full backup of the secondary server and not break log shipping?

Yes you can. But is your database in loading or read-only state (both options are available when you configure log shipping)? If it is in loading state, then you won't be able to back it up, not because it would break log shipping, but because the database is just unavailable.

We will be using read-only since this will be a DR/Reporting db.
