There isn't a configuration option that allows this.

I'd recommend just editing lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm (assuming you
are using english), and remove these lines:

    \${h2("User Actions")}
    <p>
    <form name="StartStopForm" action="\$MyURL" method="get">
    <input type="hidden" name="host"   value="\$host">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="">
    \$startIncrStr
    <input type="button" value="\$Lang->{Start_Full_Backup}"
     onClick="document.StartStopForm.action.value='Start_Full_Backup';
              document.StartStopForm.submit();">
    <input type="button" value="\$Lang->{Stop_Dequeue_Backup}"
     onClick="document.StartStopForm.action.value='Stop_Dequeue_Backup';
              document.StartStopForm.submit();">
    </form>
    </p>

This doesn't actually disable user requested backups - it just
removes the CGI buttons.  An enterprising use could still
figure out the URL to start a backup.
