Guys
Thank you very much for your help to do this. In the end I have used:
edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl and set:
$Conf{BackupsDisable} = 2;
Many Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
When I saw your note, I first thought about just stopping the service
like in Richards suggestion below. If you want to keep the system
simi-active in case you need something from the old archive, I'm
wondering if just setting the black-out period to 24/7 would work.

Check the docs for the "BackupsDisable" setting in config.pl; it appears to
be exactly what you are looking for!

edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl and set:
$Conf{BackupsDisable} = 2;
The comments above that directive in the config file will explain it.

Thanks for this, I didn't think about doing it this way. Was hoping
there might be away within BackupPC to stop backups from running. But
this will do the trick.
Many Thanks

Hey.
I have installed a new backuppc server and have tested the backups on
the new server and I am now happy to switch off the old server. The
server is running other services so I wanted to know if there is away to
stop the backups from running so that I can keep the old backups on this
serve
