I know this is an old thread, but here's something that might work. I have a Wheezy system running LXDE and if you try to shut down using the gui while another user is logged in, it refuses. Actually, I think it requests the root password. So if your backup process involves an ssh login of a regular user (uid of 1000 or greater), other users won't be able to shut down the computer by normal gui methods. -Rob
