I just fought through dealing with errors in my backup due to attempting to
back up sockets and wanted to share my solution.
Here's an example of the error message:
rsync: readlink_stat("/var/spool/postfix/private/tlsmgr" (in root)) failed:
Permission denied (13)
(Postfix creates a directory full of sockets for all its processes, so I
got quite a few errors in that directory.)
On CentOS 7 I found I needed this:
setsebool -P rsync_full_access 1
You may also need:
setsebool -P rsync_export_all_ro 1
I'd prefer to just enable read-only access but that doesn't allow the
readlink_stat needed to back up a socket. (I don't see a man page for that.
Is that API part of BackupPC or rsync?)
