All versions since 1.38, at least up to 2.2.8.

I have observed that if the director is not running at the time that a 
full backup is scheduled, then the next backup to be performed when the 
director next schedules the job is not a full but an incremental (that is, 
the missing full is not detected). If the backup retention is less than 
twice the interval between fulls, this eventually leads to the database 
containing only incrementals and no fulls. Is this the as-designed 
behavior? It certainly doesn't seem correct.
