What are you using to backup - what command or software?

If it is ufsdump (comes with most UNIX OS) then you can do incremental backups during the week and a full on the weekends (when even 24X7 shops are usually slower)

Check out the man page if this is what you are using.

Also check out this link which may give you a better idea of what to do.
