no, but it will make the host unbrowseable, and cause daily complaint mails
to be sent to you.
Leave the host information in the /etc/backuppc/hosts file unless you delete
all the host's data from /var/lib/backuppc/pc/ as well.

That's one of the ways to do it. 

For each of the hosts you want to stop backing up (but remain browseable)
insert these directives into the per-host configuration file (usually
/etc/backuppc/<hostname as it appears in /etc/backuppc/hosts>.pl).

Since (I think) 3.1.0 the directive to use to stop backups is:
$Conf{BackupsDisable} = 2;

However the old:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = -1;
(or -2 if you want to stop manual backups as well) will still work.

To keep it from complaining to you for 365 days, set this:
$Conf{EMailNotifyMinDays} = 365;
