Agreed. 
Back-ups should generally not be a crazy resource intensive job. Of course if it wants to make a back up each time any file changes or something...lol

How old is your hardware, and what are its basic specs, i.e. how much RAM, what CPU does it have and how many corfes at what clock speed...
Just as a general tip: unless the hardware is really close to ready for the recycle bin you will usually find adding RAM up to 4GB a worth while 
investment assuming you have less than that. If you hae 3GB of RAM then you might not see much difference in adding another gig. 
Also it can be expensive to get older memory types new, but if you know anyone who works on computers who can sell you some used RAM cheap of correct 
specs for your computer that is a good option in my opinion. 
DDR2 and older new can be pricy last I looked, even from places that usually have very good prices, and lots of machines were sold with 2GB of physical 
memory, or even less, that run much better with 3 or 4 gigs. 
Anyway, you should be able to schedule backups to run when you won't be using your computer so that you do not tax limited processor cycles and or 
memory.
