My backup method involves sending a mirrored drive offsite on a regular
basis.  This drive contains the OS, BackupPC program, and the pool.

Now I need to access some information from one of the old backups.  I
can boot it up normally, but I want to make sure that BackupPC does not
try to run any backups or do any cleanup while I'm working with it.  I
know there's a flag I can set to prevent backups from running, but what
do I need to do to prevent the cleanup from removing any of the existing
backups?

One option would be to not even start the server - just extract what you need with the BackupPC_tarCreate command line program.
