Hard-coded, huh? Nobody's tried backing up that big data I keep hearing
about?

Yes, but nobody was interested in changing it to the config parameter. It is possible that someone did that in 7.x, I need to check.

No, there is no change in the hard coded 6 day limit, and at the moment, I personally am not planning to implement anything, for two reasons: 1. I would like to limit the number of new Directives to what is absolutely necessary because there are already more than I can remember.

I'm sure we can find a number of directives we can safely remove to make a place for this one.

2B clear, I'm not personally afflicted by this limit.

2. In my opinion, any Job that runs more than 6 days is virtually destined to have problems during restore -- i.e. you will likely have backup dates that span 6 days of time in a single job. That appears to me to be something very undesirable.

Yes, 6day backup seems undesirable. But when it is an archive or disaster recovery backup or it is a backup from snapshot. The data remain consistent during a backup so no need to worry about it.
