It looks like your backup didn't backup the security labels. How did you make the back up? The way to get labels set back properly would be to book the kernel in permissive by adding enforcing=0 to the kernel command line. Note that this is different from selinux=0 which disables selinux completely. Then once you're in touch /.autorelabel and reboot. You might want to reboot with enforcing=0 once more just to make sure that it can relabel all of the files properly. If you're still having problems after that feel free to contact the fedora-selinux list and we'll work on figuring out your problem.
