Hi,

It will be great (at least for me :-) ) when Bacula looks for previous 
Full backup on a brand new client to also check if a Full backup is 
currently running.

We do Incr. backups M-F at night and they use tapes from IncrTapes pool. 
Full backups use tapes from the FullTapes pool. When I add a new client 
sometimes I run the Full backup manually to avoid Bacula changing tapes 
in the middle of the night.

The problem is that when my manually ran Full backup takes longer then I 
expected and overlaps with the regularly scheduled Incr backups. Then 
Bacula runs the Incr. backup for my new system and because it can't find 
a previous Full backup it changes it from Incr to Full.

But, the Full backup is already running. It just hasn't finished yet. 
So, at the end, I end up with two Full backups for the same system.

What I'd expect from Bacula is to see that there is a Full backup 
running for that client and not change the Incr to Full.

Not a deal breaker at all. I just thought that if this make sense to you 
and if it is easy to implement you may be interested.

Thanks for the great product.
