That is how I initially set it up.  The problem is, sometimes, the tapes run 
out on weekend or at night and jobs fall behind.  So over time, you end up with 
2 or 3 jobs scheduled to backup the same file.  Instead of restarting to 
cleanup the backlog, I thought rejecting duplicates was less involving.

How do you handle these cases without configuring bacula to avoid duplicates?

Agree, cancelled is fine.  I find fatal a bit excessive.  That name, I would 
only use for things that require intervention, not something configured to 
happen intentionally.  Its just a view point, and understand how hard to code 
against all edge cases.  Thought the feedback is worth it though.
