I can't complete all the backups in a day with a maxbackups of 1. It's unreasonable to micromanage the blackout periods for 70+ hosts to keep certain ones from overlapping.
I've coped with the problem, but it's something that an only-one-host-at-a-time-from-this-group feature would make a lot easier to deal with.
