No you can't do that by groups, but unless you have a mix of fast and
slow networks/hosts you will probably get the best performance by
setting the overall concurrency (MaxBackups) to 2 or so since you have
the same problem server-side.   You can have some control over timing
by setting the blackout periods differently and you can initially skew
them by doing a 'stop' (even if a backup isn't running) and setting a
number of hours to defer the next run.    The approximately 24-hour
scheduling will maintain the skew afterward.
