Agreed that is a problem with this approach.

Or you have the code that locks wait for the lock to be freed does that help?
Are you using flock in the script, then its a easy change.

You still cannot ensure the order, but you can ensure that they will all run sequentially.

Personally I encode the rules for my incremental vs. full backup into my hourly backups script.
So I only have one timer.
