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.
