You can disable the backup schedule for those retired machines.
Login to your backuppc GUI:
Select a host
Edit Config (under the host, not the general config)
Schedule
BackupDisable: check Override, and set the Value to 2
This will disable the backup schedule of that host, and Backuppc see will not
notify you, yet it will not delete the host nor its backup sets.
However, those backups might be deleted later along the way according to your
retention policy.
I hope this answer is clear.
Best regards
