All,

New to list, looking for a good solution to backing up SELinux systems with MLS policies.

The last reference I can find to SELinux in the Bacula-Users list is dated 20 Feb 2007.

The reference was non-committal at best (see below). Is anyone working with/on/using this.

This is something I have to do. And could dedicate paid time to it, if I feel that is going somewhere. I have read that Amanda handles SELinux, but the information regarding that is cryptic as well. I would rather use Bacula if possible.

Would like to discuss this with other interested parties, off-line if necessary
