This is a FAQ question.  Bacula has the hardcoded limit of 6 days
for a job to complete.  This is not tweakable (and supposedly it won't
ever be):

If someone will write a patch for this it will be tunable. :)

 
the position of Bacula devs is that if your job takes that
long to complete you're doing something wrong

For "standard" backup jobs it is very true. For some kind of archive jobs it is not.
 
-- consider splitting the
task to several jobs.

It is a best known workaround for that. Another is raise a hardcoded limit and compile Bacula from source. 
 
best regards
