Someone's got to do the work. Looks like someone has been doing

Bacula 2.2 (I could be wrong), so it will be awhile.
Maybe this is a pain in the a** for a lot of people here. If noone is
willing to tackle that problem, why don´t we all donate some money and
pay someone to do it?
I would support such a move, if money is the issue.
Because it is not a bug, it is the way things work.
"... given standard backup algorithms ...."
Many commercial
backup softwares have exactly the same problem.
I would never use or even pay such a backup software.
Some of those commercial backup packages run into tens of thousands of
dollars. There are only a couple I'm aware of which do it the "right way"
Fortunately in bacula, 90% of the work is already done - there is a file
database in place. It is mainly a matter of hammering out the right method
and cutting code - something I'm afraid I'm no good at.
Once the GUI is done for the "lazy" people, they will find out that
bacula is missing a reliable and professional reason.
See above. There are very few enterprise-grade packages which can do
"snapshot" restores via incrementals and they cost a great deal of money.
On the flipside: Whoever implements this functionality in Bacula can rest
assured that there _will_ be rapid uptake as a result. It's one of the few
remaining obstacles to "world domination"
