How about specifying  "not before   cron-start-time  + 1 hour"   for everything
*except*   the backup node itself?    Force it to be the first one.    It is
easier to estimate how long one node will take,    than how long all 
the rest of
them will take.

Of course, that means specifying a starttime  for all nodes but one.
