The documentation is outdated and this limit was removed (or perhaps vastly
increased?) somewhere around the 7 mark. I’ve had jobs running a lot longer
since upgrading.
In branch-5.2:
http://www.bacula.org/git/cgit.cgi/bacula/tree/bacula/src/lib/bnet.c#n784
bsock->timeout = 60 * 60 * 6 * 24; /* 6 days timeout */
In branch-7.0 this line is removed.
(Unfortunately I can’t see a way to get a direct link from cgit directly to a
line at a particular commit.)
Regards,
Ben Roberts

From Bacula’s main.pdf documentation:
Max Run Time = <time> The time specifies the maximum allowed time that a job
may run, counted from when the job starts, (not necessarily the same as when
the job was scheduled).
By default, the the watchdog thread will kill any Job that has run more than 6
days. The maximum watchdog timeout is independent of MaxRunTime and cannot be
changed.

Thank you all for your responses.
I'll take a look at Bacula systems' whitepaper to see what they're
talking about. Meanwhile I'll explore some of the alternatives
discussed on this thread like copying files with scripts and making a
replica on SpiderOak or anything similar.
I hope we can have an interesting solution for this "problem" in the
near future.
Hi Jason!
You have said that "Bacula can't run jobs for so long without modifying
source code and recompiling".
What did you mean by that and can you give an example of the problem
you have experienced?
I am asking because I am not aware of the bacula's job duration related
limitations.
