I use cron and a ArchivePreUserCmd script to prevent running archives
during backup windows..  E.g. for the customer, it's a backup window
of 8pm -> 7am, but backups can run beyond the window if they are still
running, so the PreUserCmd waits 3-4 hours and gives up if backups
were still running beyond that threshold.  If backups end sometime in
that 3-4 hour window, the archive begins, and data gets written to
tape.

Hope that helps.
