[Bacula-users] duplicate jobs in 3.0

Hello.

In Bacula 2.x I used to use my own script that I ran in dir before every job. 
The script would query dir whether the job is already ran (the job may be 
still waiting for smth or running) and if this is the case, the script would 
return 1 and cancel the job.

I hoped that would be the case with "Allow Duplicate Jobs = no" in 3.0 (I'm 
using it on FreeBSD), but it seems the directive doesn't change anything, at 
least in my case:

1) I ran a job with level=Full and 
2) started another instance of the same job with level=Incremental
3) I saw the 2nd job's level upgraded to Full ("No prior or suitable Full 
backup found in catalog") and then 
4) the 2nd job started waiting for the storage (as it uses the same device as 
the 1st job, and a device may have only 1 job using it, even if the device is 
HDD).
5) After the 1st job completed running, the 2nd started running.

This is exactly the same scenario I wrote my "cancelling duplicate jobs 
script" for. I don't understand what's the point of the new duplicate job 
control (because I first thought it was to resolve the problem described 
above). Or doesn't it just work?

Anyone having success with it?
