We are taking backup of our application data(cobol file system, AIX/unix) before and after EOD job runs. The data size is approximately 260 GB in biggest branch. To reduce the backup time, 5 parallel execution is scheduled through control-m which backups up the files in 5 different *.gz. The job takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. Backup is done locally and later on it's passed to different location for retention.
Issue:
Each execution takes approximately 10% CPU which is putting heavy load on the server. This is causing the issue as the server is hosting multiple branches.
Is there anyway, we can improve the backup further? Is there any new features in GTAR to fasten the backup or any new backup command which can replace GTAR? Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

vxconfigbackup(1M)vxconfigbackup(1M)NAME
vxconfigbackup - back up disk group configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxconfigbackup [-l directory] [[dgname ...] | [dgid ...]]
DESCRIPTION
The vxconfigbackup utility can be used to backup up the configuration information for one or more disk groups. The disk groups may be
specified either by name or by ID. If no disk groups are specified, all disk group configurations are backed up.
OPTIONS -l directory
Specifies a directory other than the default where the backup configuration files are to be written.
Note: The default backup directory is /etc/vx/cbr/bk.
EXAMPLES
Back up the configuration of the mydg disk group to the directory /dgbackup/mydg:
vxconfigbackup -l /dgbackup/mydg mydg
FILES
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.dginfo
Default location of backup file for disk group information.
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.diskinfo
Default location of backup file for disk attributes.
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.binconfig
Default location of backup file for binary configuration copy.
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.cfgrec
Default location of backup file for configuration records in vxprint -m format.
NOTES
The vxconfigbackupd daemon automatically backs up a disk group's new configuration to the default backup directory whenever the configura-
tion is changed. The vxconfigbackup command is provided to back up the configuration manually at any other desired time.
The disk group configuration backup and restore utilities do not save any data in the public region. This includes file system or other
application data that is configured within VxVM objects.
