Well, my approach can easily be set up without requiring manual user
interaction too.
And what doesn't work, is only the first full backup - incrementals would be
no problem once the full is done. Not the solution, right?

I'm not saying it should be a feature. I'm asking is there a way to do it, eg.
by changing smth in database, rescanning the volume etc.
What could also help and what looks more like a feature, is ability to run a
job from a failed job (using a failed full as basis for incremental), which is
exactly what I want.
