Richard, Packages came from epel repository for CentOS 8. https://epel.hysing.is/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/b/ seems they where uploaded/created 2020-06-22
BackupPC x86_64 4.4.0-1.el8 epel 489 k BackupPC-XS x86_64 0.62-1.el8 epel 107 k Without doing a complete reinstall of OS I can‘t be sure if a reinstall of BackupPC will correct the problems. Might do that once I have tested the features of BackupPC more.

Still the wrong ownership of /var/lib/BackupPC is an issue with the install packages. No, I was trying to make that clear in my original response. The package I build sets it correctly. I still don't know how yours was different. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/BackupPC/blob/rawhide/f/BackupPC.spec#_327 Fixed with chown -R backuppc.root /var/lib/BackupPC , problem with that is SELINUX, you will have problems with SELINUX and have to do some selinux stuff for everything to work properly, and yes SELINUX should always be enabled. For me the following worked. I'm glad it worked but it should not be necessary as the package should also set the selinux permissions correctly. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/BackupPC/blob/rawhide/f/BackupPC.spec#_118 I would double check where the packages are coming from and first try reinstalling them. # dnf reinstall BackupPC Thanks, Richard
