Hi
I recently restored a directory in BackupPC (rsync) and was surprised to
find it had not restored the SELinux file contexts. It wasn’t a big issue,
as I was able to just restorecon -R over the restored directory, but I’m
not sure why this isn’t working?

I’m using a low spec DigitalOcean droplet. You get a certain amount of

than a dusty old PC in a corner somewhere. It’s backed by SSD RAID and a

The answer has already been provided. If you're still unclear maybe try

I too am using CentOS 7 and that repo. The only thing I can think is that
defaults on CentOS 7 at least are that home directories are owned by their
respective user and nobody else can access them. BackupPC would need to run
as a privileged user for it to be able to access those directories. I’d

Hi
I’m having trouble with SELinux reporting:
avc: denied { write } for pid=15496 comm="BackupPC_Admin" name="LOCK"

The issue (and supposed answer) is

Based on the email message, you should see several of those messages
(likely 4 as Holger suggests with 39 hosts each) over the last 24 hours.

So config.pl.rpmnew works too (i.e. the stock config supplied with this

Running as a restricted user is actually part of the BackupPC
documentation. It just neglects to mention that doing so as described
means restores are blocked.
Having a non root user with sudo permissions to just rsync with the
"--server" param works fine for backup and restore.
Thanks Ray
I’ll be honest, I still don’t understand those settings after re-reading
several times.

I’m also only interested in one month’s worth, so can that schedule be

Because you'll seldom find any good advice that advocates doing anything
