The normal nightly backup produces very little demand on the client, typically between 15%-20% when running. Hot Bare Metal backups are about the same, and neither will interfere with normal server activities. Cold Bare Metal, on the other hand, requires the client be shut down and off-line while the backup of the OS takes place.
