High load during backup

[kaizer]

I have a huge problem with running Plesk backup on our 10.0.1 server. It seems that the backup causes high load of the server, especially the disks. I get almost 100% utilization on all disks, and this causes that e-mail are being delayed, long response on websites (or even timeouts) and I can not log into Plesk Admin.

Anyone else who is experience the same symptoms?

The server runs latest version of Plesk, and Debian 5

Did you try 'noatime' option for filesystem?

Hi Igor,
no I haven't. I need to mount the disk with this option?

Right, Add this option for partitions in /etc/fstab and re-mount disks.
