How to prevent the VERITAS NetBackup (tm) scheduler from starting backup
jobs during a maintenance period 
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/264787.htm
 
 
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpconfig -tries 0
 
Works every time and takes seconds to do.   The only thing it doesn't stop
is user backup jobs initiated from clients.

        If you don't need to script the deactivation and don't have
constraints on Keywords associated in the Policies, you can use the Admin
Console GUI.  First, update the individual intentionally deactivated
policies to include INACTIVE (or another mnenomic) in the Keywords of those
policies for something obvious and sortable in the Keywords column.  Then
highlight all the active policies and inactivate them. 
        Later, you just go back and reverse the process, eliminating the
INACTIVE policies from the activation process. 

        This really is a design flaw of the current implementation.  From
v5.X on, previously available methods of suppressing job launch were no
longer available.  Software designers who don't use the tools they modify...

Yeah, I usually create an active list and then loop over that. That way,
I can use the same list to re-activate them later.
