Hi,
in the 'Datacenter' -> 'Backup' tab if you select the backup job and click the 'Edit' button, you can select the nodes for which the backup job applies. If you leave this empty, then the job should apply to all nodes in the cluster. This should also be true for exclusion of VMs from the job.

Okay, I get what you want to achieve. But would it not make more sense to create backup pools for your VMs and schedule the backup jobs on a per pool basis instead of a per host basis.
The VMs backup jobs will be anyways executed one after the other and if increased load is the issue, than rate limiting might be a solution.
