This could come in handy even for those of us that use cron.  If the
full backup fails and goes unnoticed, this will pickup the slack and
make a full backup instead of the next incremental.

For example, I normally do a full backup on Sunday morning, then
incrementals Mon-Fri.  If the full backup failed on Sunday, then this
would pick up the slack Monday morning, or at least try to.

Combine this with --remove-older-than, and you have an intervention-free
backup system, at least better than we did.

Thanks for the patch.  I'll test some and get it out in RC3.
