Exclamation Limiting Super duper's FW transfer speed....

Here is a situation,
I have a few mac mini's and they are all connected to a G5 server. On the G5 I run mysql for the mini's & Put backups from the mini to a seperate drive on the server. But now I have come up with an issue. When the Super duper script runs, mySQL driven sites get well bogged down, fighting for the bandwidth to get through the FW connection. I was shuting down the public side of the websites weekly, but I would really like to do more frequent backup's than 1X a week.
So does someone know, or can someone point me to a way to limit the backup speeds on the FW connection?
The mini's only have 1 FW port... And no FW 800, or else I would be using that.
If I can keep the bandwidth that superduper pulls through I can upgrade to each mini gets backed up every other day, which I would prefer.
Many of my sites, are heavely accessed 24 hours a day, so shutting them down for even 30 minutes every other night isn't acceptable either.
Thanks
T
