I believe this is achievable with job's option "Rerun Failed Levels" which
is "no" by default..
From the manual:
Rerun Failed Levels = <yes|no>
If this directive is set to yes (default no), and Bacula detects that a
previous job at a higher level (i.e. Full or Differential) has failed, the
current job level will be upgraded to the higher level. This is particularly
useful for Laptops where they may often be unreachable, and if a prior Full
save has failed, you wish the very next backup to be a Full save rather than
whatever level it is started as.
