I would like to be able to override the priority in the Schedule
resource, eg:

Schedule {
  Name = "OfficeBackup"
  Run = Priority=10 Level=Incremental sun-fri at 21:00
  Run = Priority=10 Level=Full sat at 21:00
  Run = Priority=20 Level=VirtualFull mon-fri at 21:00
}

So that the VirtualFull (to tape) won't run until all the other backups
(to disk) have run. I think I can simulate this to some extent by making
sure that the VirtualFull runs at 21:01 or something, and then the
concurrency limit will ensure that only the last non-VirtualFull backup
will overlap with the first VirtualFull backup, but having the Schedule
override the Priority would be nicer.

Even better would be for the Priority to be able to specify an offset...
eg:

Run = Priority=+100 Level=VirtualFull mon-fri at 21:00

Which would keep the Job-defined priorities relative to each other the
same, provided they were less than 100.

Sounds like I should submit a feature request... or a patch :)
