cpanel backup load question...

I'm having problems with cpanel causing excessive load during backups. Sometimes the server even crashes. I am currently using FTP backups to a remote server, I am wondering if using incremental backups to a spare drive would solve this. Does the incremental backup use less load and backup mysql databases successfully?

The problem maybe a >7gig mysql database, does anyone else have a database this size and a good method of backing it up without causing high loads?
