Hello all,

I recently upgraded to Bacula 2.2.8 and have noticed something has
changed.  If a full backup has not yet completed and it's time for the
next incremental, that incremental is upgraded to a full and starts
running as shown below

The job for web22 for example has been running for 2 days.  Most of
the other jobs finish in about 16 hours but there are some stragglers
with lots of data that take longer.  To prevent this I skipped an
incremental the day after the full but since it's been 2 days, the
next incremental kicked in and was upgraded to a full.

In the past this just caused the second backup to be put on hold until
the first finished.  What's worse is that it's starting all over with
a new file as shown below

alucard web # ls -lh web22-0*

-rw-r----- 1 root bacula 430G Apr  6 22:00 web22-0081
-rw-r----- 1 root bacula  29G Apr  6 23:04 web22-0162

How can I force Bacula to complete a job before it starts a new one
for the same client?

Regards,

Seth
