Is your backup device a parallel port Iomega ZIP drive, or similar?

Dunno.

Dunno.

Configure your system to use IRQ instead of polling to access your printer
port: that alone will make access to the Iomega drive faster (or any other
type of drive connected there, and printing as well). Something like this:
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7,none
in your /etc/modprobe.conf.local file or equivalent for your version. Mine
report thus:
nimrodel kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
nimrodel kernel: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

Notice that the bios configuration of your parallel port (PCSPP only in
your case) limits the speed.

You have something connected to your parallel port, and the kernel has
tried both imm and ppa drivers, and failed:

Check if that applies to your setup. Bad cable? Other type of drive?

automount failed of floppy. Normal.

More details about your system are needed... I can only make guesses.
