Akeeba Backup doesn't run automatically unless you set up a CRON job. So, all you have to do is to disable that CRON job. Since this is a host-specific task, you can ask your host how to do that.

If, however, you are using the now-defunct Akeeba Backup Lazy Scheduling plugin, you can simply go to your site's back-end, Extensions, Plugin Manager and unpublish the "Akeeba Backup Lazy Scheduling" plugin.

Yes, with all CRON jobs disabled Akeeba Backup won't run unless you go on purpose and click on the Backup Now button. After your HDD upgrade you can re-enable them and you're back in business :)
