Client/File Daemon Configuration Resources:
SDConnectTimeout = <time-interval>
This record defines an interval of time that the File daemon will
try to connect to the Storage daemon. The default is 30 minutes. If no
connection is made in the specified time interval, the File daemon
cancels the Job.

No. Once a job times out, or fails for any reason, that's it, it's
failed and cannot be resumed. The integrity of the backed-up data set
could not be guaranteed if Bacula attempted to resume after a failure.
