I get around that by setting the maximum run time for a job. My jobs all start at 9pm, and if they are still running at 9am bacula cancels them automatically. If your backup regime was other than a nightly job that is always finished by morning then obviously this might not work for you. What I'd really like is some sort of tape validation job. Under Amanda (sorry :), I ran a script at 10am and 3pm which would email someone if there was no tape (usb disk actually) present, or if the disk would not be valid for tonights backup. The 10am script would email the normal tape operator, the 3pm job would email a bunch of others too, on the assumption that the normal tape operator was probably absent.
