Suspending backup job due to backup exceeding backup window

[mk128935]

Customer has a requirement where they want to suspend a backup job (let's say a full backup) if it exceeds their backup window (let's say 8 hours) but they want to restart from where they suspended at the next backup window. Is this something configurable in Backup Exec? 

I checked our schedule settings and options but I'm not sure if this is something that can be done.

I appreciate the advice on this.

Nope but we are looking at resuming failed jobs from suitable points (instead of the beginning) for possible inclusion in a future version.

However this would probably be after a failure and not after something like the expiration of a configured window of time.
