Re: [BackupPC-users] SELinux for v4.1.1

I believe the install documentation acknowledges that BackupPC isn't SELinux aware, and advises you to disable SELinux on the server you're using to run BackupPC.

An interesting project would be to create a backuppc module for SELinux.

I was able to successfully complete an rsyncd backup but it doesn't show in

tweak to let Apache read /var/lib/BackupPC?

Here's a directory listing to show how the host's files are labeled:
