You make a good and very valid point.

Having said that, MaxBackups is set to 3 and MaxUserBackups are 4. I will leave it where it is, and monitor.

Thanks to all respondents,

Focus on solving the issue (if any) not on the symptoms or side

distributed provided they fit the window you desire and are not
causing load issues.

As others have said, if load average is an *issue*, than the solution
is to reduce the Max backups number. The distribution will then follow
to meet the restriction. However, just because nagios complains, still
doesn't mean it's an issue provided that the high load average isn't
clobbering other critical processes...
