Just couple of thoughts.

I've got email, with subject line saying my restore failed.  Almost gave me
heart attack.  Then I realized it was just one of the log files (size probably
changed while Bacula was reading it), and all the other files (that I actaully
cared about) were restored correctly.

Would it be better if this was reported as warning?  Or even better, reported as
warning during the backup?

The former would be less confusing to the user (OK, all your files were
restored, but here are some warnings about them).  And a lot safer too.  No
heart attacks what you get that email with subject line saying the restore
failed.  However it is already too late to do anything about the file the
error/warning is complaining about.

The later might be better time to complain (issue warning), since usually
something can be done about it (if needed) while the file warning is about is
still "safe" on the disc ;-)
