It depends how you're doing the backups. If you're using rsync
over ssh you might want to use the '--bwlimit=xxx' option.
If you're using something else you might be interested in the
`trickle` package:

Trickle is a voluntary, cooperative bandwidth shaper. it works
entirely in userland and is very easy to use.
.
The most simple application is to limit the bandwidth usage of
programs.
