This is such a message. If you think this is a normal amount of IO usage simply go in and up the threshold at which it send you a warning. As it says, you're encouraged to set these thresholds according to your own needs.
On the other hand, if for some reason you are worried about IO use on your server you could interpret this as a timely warning that your backup process is consuming a lot of IO and you may want to consider doing something about it.
I got it now
