Force full backup after failure detected?

I do a FULL of my clients once a week on differing days and INCR for the rest of the days.

Any suggestions on how best to detect (via a script) that the scheduled FULL backup failed and it will then force the next scheduled backup of the failed client to be a FULL instead of an INCR?

This situation popped up during a disaster recovery drill - we were unable to recover a couple of systems due to a botched FULL backup (a network problem) that occured without discovery/repair.

Thanks!
 
Automation for such a process is almost impossible.

The easiest way is to copy all clients to a new group with "Autostart: Disabled". Then copy all failed clients to this group and start it manually (or enable it for one night).
