Just because something is possible doesn't mean is should be done.  What are you trying to accomplish?  I can't believe the GUI is putting a burden on you backup server, so what gain are you hoping to make?  Making this move means you will have a customized install and you will need to revisit it with each upgrade.  I'm not sure the burden is worth whatever you are trying to accomplish.
