I just let the jobs wait and not error out. I have nagios alert me
about this since I can no longer receive emails from bacula (network
security policy - linux severs are no longer connected in any way to
the internet).
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.
