So your system is spending 37.7% of its total available CPU capacity on user 
tasks, 25.4% to system tasks (probably IO related) en 30.8% waiting for IO.
Which is what I expected actually.

As you can see in other messages on the mailinglist, it's the rather unique 
way backuppc stores files that is its strong point but it's also its Achilles 
heel. On any fairly recent machine it's the IO that makes it go slow, not the 
cpu.

At least you're not swapping :)

Concluding I would say that this is the expected and normal behaviour.
