you can execute the test for load in a timeperiod that excludes  the backup times and hence not get 
the alert , but  will work for the rest of the day  - for example :

# 'skipbackup' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name skipbackup
        monday          00:00-20:00,21:00-24:00
        }
