Maybe this is a pain in the a** for a lot of people here.

Imagine your Sitation: The whole server goes down. You have a 10 Days old full backup and 9 incrementals. Now you bring the system back up but with inconsitent files and contents?! Try to explain that to you boss or the company you work for?! Once the GUI is done for the "lazy" people, they will find out that bacula is missing a reliable and professional reason. Just my 2 cent. What scares me is that this issue must be more than one year old, and nobody ever really complained or did something about it. I do not have the time and knowledge to implement this, but i would be willing to donate in order to get someone to do it properly.
