Have you had a look at options to bpdbjobs?
Extract from Commands manual:
-suspend job1,job2,...jobn | type=jobtype | type=all
Suspends the jobs that job1,job2,...jobn specifies or all eligible checkpoint backups or restore the jobs that jobtype indicates, or all
eligible jobs if type=all is specified.
Possible jobtype values are listed in the Description section.

If the 80 clients are all the clients on the box, you could disable the scheduler:

nbpemreq -suspend_scheduling

nbpemreq -resume_scheduling
