There's a check box to make the policy inactive (or active) - would that work for you?
If you're looking for a command line equivalent, I believe it's bpplinfo <policyname> -modify [ -inactive | -active ] in 6.5 ... check the Commands Guides to be sure and to get the correct syntax.

I didn't see the check box to make the policy inactive or active. Can you provide detail instruction where this option is located in version 6.5.1?
Thanks for the command!

Check out Figure 4-2 on page 94 of the Admin Guide:
Veritas NetBackup (tm) 6.5 Administrator's Guide for Windows, Volume 1
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290203.htm
It's in the upper right corner underneath the "Attributes" tab in the Policy Change dialog box.

For single policy, you can simply deactivate the policy by right clicking policy name and then select deactivate or you can use command provided earlier.
For multiple policies, you can either use
"bpdbm -terminate"
which will not let any new job to start. Any currently running child process continues to run until its task is complete.
Or you can use "nbpemreq -predict" with date and time option to see what all jobs are schedule to run within certain time frame, based on this information you can only decativate the policies for whihc jobs are due to start within that given timeframe.

nbpemreq -suspend will stop scheduling
- resume will start it again.
