Hello Everyone,
  I've got slight problem, due to inattentiveness to backups.. Everybody
ignores backups until they are needed, right? In this case I've got a
bacula server with a single DLT drive connected, that does full and
incremental backups for a couple of hosts on my network. When the tape
fulls up it the jobs are blocked until the tape is changed. If the
designated tape changer is inattentive, jobs continue to queue up until
the tape is finally changed. This will result in lots of duplicate
incremental jobs and occasionally duplicate full jobs queued up for the
same client, so that when the tape is changed if the operator does not
first 'cancel' all the redundant queued jobs bacula will then run
through the queue doing duplicate full/incremental backups of the same
client.

Is there any way to configure bacula that if a job of the same
type/client is already in the queue then the scheduler does not place
another instance of the same job in the queue?
