Hello, I wouldn't particularly recommend re-running the job. Bacula killed it off because it considered that it was running far too long to be doing anything useful. If I read the output right, your job was still not finished after having run 12 days! IMO you need to figure out some way to break it into several smaller jobs, which can run simultaneously if you want. I have my doubts whether Bacula could do a proper restore of a backup that took more than 12 days to run.
Normally, a restore runs 2-4 times slower than a backup, which says you would need 24 days (at best) to run your restore of a full backup. If you add a few incrementals, things get a bit out of hand ...
