The "bpconfig -mj" doesn't work reliably.  If you've got a different value
set in the client database (bpclient -max_jobs) for a specific client, it
takes precedence over the global max jobs value.

I think if you set the number of maximum jobs per client to 0 by

bpconfig -mj 0

you also prevent client-initiated jobs from running - we never allowed 
user backups on our site, so I can't really say for sure. This is the 
cleanest way I know of to prevent any backup activity, but it is 
probably not what Asiye was looking for.
