I thought I would give some feedback here...

I am running BackupPC 3.1.0-5 built from Fedora SRPMs (should be the
same as EPEL) in a CentOS 5.3 machine, with SELinux enabled, in
"enforced" mode, with "targeted" policy.

I have the BackupPC volume mounted in /var/lib/BackupPC (default
path), I mounted it *before* installing the RPM.

I have had *no* issues with SELinux so far, and I'm running it for a
couple of weeks now.

The RPM includes a file named
/usr/share/selinux/packages/BackupPC/BackupPC.pp, which I believe will
implement the SELinux policies need for BackupPC operation. I believe
it will do so considering the labels that are applied by default in
/var/lib/BackupPC, and if you decide to mount your repository
elsewhere (like /BackupData) it will only give you trouble...

Especially if using SELinux, I would advise you to try to keep your
backups under /var/lib/BackupPC, and also to mount the backup drive at
that path before installing the RPM.

HTH,
Filipe
