Then you'd put that in cron.d/
something like 5 * * * * would run at 12:05, 1:05, 2:05, 3:05, etc...

And every server will have to be put on a different schedule. By running it every 60 minutes, it doesn't matter when it runs, it automatically aligns. Once you managed 200 servers, that becomes valuable and no longer manually managable ("How many servers are running backups on :05? Do I need to move some? Can I fit in one more?")
