The usual approach with backuppc is to tell it when you do not want 
backups to run and let it take care of deciding which host(s) to back up 
at which times within the allowed window.  If you have more than a few 
targets, this allows the runs to happen as fast as possible with the 
concurrency you permit.  After the initial run, the timing is mostly 
controlled by the time you set to expire between each full and incremental.

If you really need to micro-manage things for some reason, you can use a 
cron job to send a ServerMesg command:
