You can use the Spotlight System Preferences to prevent folders from being indexed. Add the folders you don't want indexed to the set of private folders that Spotlight doesn't index.
This won't help. Time Machine backups have to be indexed for Time Machine
to be functional so the UI shouldn't let you disable the backup indexing.

After some researching I saw that Spotlight was indexing my time machine drive.
Please file a Radar, indexing should not interfere with volume ejection. If it does,
it is a bug.
I tried turning it of ( # mdutil -i off /Volumes/TimeMachineDrive ) but I can't, instead of indexing off, I get a message saying "Indexing on"
Trying to turn it off:
% sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Antaeus
This disables indexing on the volume index, not on the backup index.
Disabling indexing on the backup itself is not supported.
