There's a weekly server full backup going on at the moment, this makes the server a bit sluggish & this is a normal behavior. MySQL databases require a minimum downtime of
5 mins for backing up. We've managed to backup the server on
weekends & during night time when the traffic & the load on the server is to the lowest, this doesn't result into a major downtime & loss to your business.
Backups are most essential & are one of the primary factors in the web hosting industry, hence they can't be avoided in any case.
Let me know if you have any ideas on reducing this amount of downtime, I'd be happy to receive & implement any suggestion from any one
