Except for a few laptops, my backups all run at night so there
is a long idle period between when BackupPC_Nightly completes
and anything else happens.  If your schedule is similar you
could use a script run as a root cron job to stop backuppc,
do the copy, and restart in that interval.  The timing doesn't
have to be perfect unless you have people that might start
a restore early in the morning.
