On an interesting sidenote, after playing arround with the syntax 
(changed it to "1 min" everywhere) bacula indeedly automatically 
canceled the job, but after 30 minutes and not 1 minute. As 30 Minutes 
beeing the default I kinda figured the same, maybe I was just running 
into some kind of bug.

So to get this straight I am doing all right, yeah? I am kinda puzzled 
by the syntax as the Documentation is vague on it on this case:
        SD Connect Timeout = 1 min
        FD Connect Timeout = 1 min

and in the SD config I got:
        Client Connect Wait = 1 min

Derailing my own thread, what's the best practice for Bacula regarding 
upgrading? Do you guys just follow your Distributions/Packet Managements 
and upgrade the Bacula server? Do you compile from source and read the 
Bacula docs? Do you upgrade at all or do you just upgrade when you need 
new features/bugfixes?
