You might be better to leave the backups enabled and just increase the
ages (FullPeriod and IncrPeriod) from 6.97 and 0.97 respectively, to
something a little higher, that way the backuppc won't attempt to backup
the host as long as your scheduled task is working. That said, there was
a follow-up from Les Mikesell that might work better.

Colin
