Hi All,

Looks like backuppc destroys selinux context on restore? is this
feature or bug? any workaroud available?

Eero

Neither one -- it's a feature of selinux that files that are touched (or replaced) lose their context. The labels are still there, but are unconfirmed.

There are a few workarounds.
1) Don't use selinux
2) Even if contexts were copied using extended attributes, they would be unconfirmed, so you'd have to use restorecon. (Related: you need to use xattr for backup and restore)
3) You can use backuppc's hooks to automate #2
