Well, it's generally a really bad idea to run a kernel that hasn't been
all that thoroughly beaten on by the masses. What's a worse idea is
running a "bleeding-edge" kernel on the machine that does your backups!
I would never even consider doing backups on a machine with anything but
a stock release + vendor recommended updates!
I would *very* strongly suggest you revert to the 7.1 or 7.2 kernel as
shipped by Red Hat (or superceded by Red Hat recommended updates, of
course).
