I don't know if you can get rid of *all* of them, but you can change ping to /bin/true and change the ping count to 1 (or maybe even 0, though I'm not sure it's possible) to at least significantly reduce the possibility of it running.

Also, is this true for some hosts, or *ALL* hosts for that server?  If so, you could adjust the WakeupSchedule to exclude those times (but remember that you want the *first* WakeupSchedule to be during a time when you are *not* doing backups:  see the documentation for details).
