would changing the IncrPeriod to greater than 24 hours help?
the default is:
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
this is basically what causes backups to go off once a day.
perhaps for these machines you can set this to 1.47, or 1.97; so they would
get backed up once every day and a half or two days?
You probably also want to change:
$Conf{MaxBackups} = 4;
to something lower. that's the number of backups which will run
simultaneously. I've found that the default of '4' is too high for most
backup servers, and that '2' is a better value in most cases.
