No alot of these rules are not good.  Could you attach the audit log you
used to create this.

You probably need a context for this

allow httpd_t etc_t:dir write;
and these
allow httpd_t usr_t:dir { write add_name };
allow httpd_t usr_t:file { write create };

Could be as simple as

chcon -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t PATHTODIR

I take it this is the socket file that BackupPC is creating.  I think
you need a policy for this, and then BackupPC could label it
appropriately and allow httpd to communicate with it.

allow httpd_t initrc_t:unix_stream_socket connectto;
allow httpd_t var_log_t:sock_file write;


Not sure what these are either.

allow httpd_t httpd_log_t:sock_file write;
allow httpd_t httpd_sys_content_t:sock_file write;
