Daily backups are good idea for MySQL databases. Especially if they are being updated constantly. The backup run at 4:00am CST, have you experienced any slow response times from the server around this time? If not, they are not stressing the server and you can leave it as it is.

I have modified the backups to occur weekly, so we shall see if the problem continues on the backup day.
