seems to be a common mis-conception or I'm /much/ luckier than I should be as I
routinely run jobs that last over 15-20 days with zero problems (besides them
taking 15-20 days. ;) ). I've been doing this for a couple years now end on end
with different deployments of bacula (mainly linux/ubuntu

I believe it automatically kills jobs that are longer than 5 days or
something similar. At least that was discussed recently on the list.

In an effort to work around the fact that bacula kills long-running
jobs, I'm about to partition my backups into smaller sets. For example,

/home
I would like to backup the content of /home as separate jobs. For example:
/home/[0-9]*
/home/[A-G]
