For the moment I think your best bet would be a RunBeforeJob script
that checks the free space on the filesystem, retrieves the size of
the last full backup for the client being backed up and then does some
comparisons based on these parameters. 

If the question is allowed: Why do you have so many pools defined? I
usually only have my incremental an full pools, but of course once the
PHBs start bugging you with different backup "classes" and
"strategies", that's the first thing that usually goes out of the
window.

All the best, Uwe
