Can I setup a backup migrate schedule from settings.php

Question

I am using Pantheon to host a development, staging and production drupal 7 site. I have backup migrate module setup to perform period backups. When I migrate the production site's content to the staging site for testing of new features, the backup migrate settings come with, and all of sudden I now have both production and staging servers backing up to a remote server. I don't mind having to delete the schedules every time I perform the migration, however I'd hate to write this step into the SOP for other developers as they come on the project. So is there a way to setup a backup migrate schedule in settings php? My only thought is to add some config variables in settings.php, and then create a custom module that builds a backup migrate schedule based on these config variables. I feel like there could be a more elegant solution than this. Any thoughts?

Thanks
