Since you are catching up with a backlog, you may have ended up with a
lot of full runs on the same night.   If that turns out to be a
problem, the quick fix is to force a full ahead of time on one or a
few machines perhaps as you are leaving work, or do some on a Friday
evening where they will have the weekend to complete.   The
approximately-weekly timing for fulls will keep them on the same day
after that.
