You can always limit the bandwidth used by your backups.

I have no experience with keeping files indefinitely, but maybe 
something like rdiff-backup is less resource intensive in that case. But 
BackupPC is a nice product, so I image it would do fine. You might also 
want to write archives to tape and not keep everything in BackupPC forever.
