I have tried your method but it didn't made all backups.
I have added set_config('backup_auto_running', '0', 'backup'); to backup_cron_helper.class.php file.
I have set Automatic Backups setting to Manual.
I have ran CLI command: php-cgi admin/automated_backups.php
However it didn't finish all backups.
Here is the last lines of execution:
<......>
Backing up <span lang="en" class="multilingual">Final Project for Teacher Qualification</span><span lang="lt" class="multilingual">Mokytojo kvalifikacinis baigiamasis projektas</span>...
moodle2@moodle2:~/public_html$
So this shows that automated backup script actually didn't finished.
It stopped after ~6-7minutes. During this run Moodle did ~30 backups.
Also at some courses I got this message and these courses were not backed up:
backup_auto_failed_on_course ISK0312_RS
Exception: baseelementexisting annotation
Also I've found that actually and some courses was not backed up but CLI said that it was completed. We have a lot of courses with this error.
Here is debug info:

I have these settings in server:
max_execution_time 300
max_input_time 180
memory_limit 512M
Do you have any idea how I can make a all courses backup?
And what is that error "Exception: baseelementexisting annotation" means?
Thanks,
M.
