I have several servers covered by policy that together take more then 24 hours to perform full backups on. There area already 2 drives in my library.
Is there any way to make the run window last all weekend for the Full jobs?

 
Have you tried going under the Full selection > Priority & Availability > Enable auto cancel and setting this to 48 hrs + ? or how ever many hours from your start of weekend to end ?
 
I think this might work for me.
I did not understand that it started timing from the time the job was queued vs. the time the job actually began writing.

It is not "perfect" for me, as I use the same selection lists for all jobs, Full/Dif or Inc. This means that even the incs and diffs will respect the setting. Probably an acceptable trade off, I will see.

Do you know how this setting works with respect to the Run Window? Does the job remain in the queue until a tape drive is available without regard to the run window, or, does it remain in the queue until the tape drive is available within the Run Window?
