Occasionally when the backup is running, the Linode server on which it's running sends me a message that io is off the chart, and at that point any attempt to log into Any domain on that server results in a timeout. Is there any way to make the backup more environment-friendly?

Possibly, but probably not from PHP. Backing up a db is a lot of I/O and doing at the PHP level may not be the most appropriate for every site and environment. The next version of B&M will allow you to use the command line mysql command to do db backups (and tar, gzip etc). This may result in lower usage but it may not. There will (hopefully) be a dev release soon for you to test it out.
