I agree, this is an essential feature. (Of course, it remains that
when your backup's run more then 24 hours you have a problem any way).

I had this problem because sometimes my laptop is not close to the
backup device (the SD-daemon). When it is, I manually start the
appropriate backup (usually sometime after dinner....). If this is a
full backup, this may conflict with the regular scheduled incremental
backup (which is still on the default time of 23:05). This behaviour
already made me do a complete restart of bacula (clean DB, clean
volumes, ...) (I *do* have more than one backup (rsync & bacula) of al
critical data).
