how about scripting the service to stop when the backup starts and re-starts when the backup completes.
 
There's simply no good way to do that.  With multi-threaded backups and weird and wonderful ways of NetBackup to fail, you can't guarantee that the service will be restarted again.
 
That is also complicated, of course, by the fact that you'd have no virus protection while backups are running.  You want to ensure that the backup process itself isn't impacted by the scanning, but you don't want to turn scanning off (alternatively, shut down the file serving instead!).
