Cant speak for others but I do not backup selinux labels. I cannot speak to other attributes or ACL's. I think of selinux labels as belonging to the host server policy not the backup machine - so the policy in my mind comes from the target where the backups would be restored to. So, if you backed up /home/cloaked/foo and restored it to bing:/home/cloaked/foo then I would expect the labels to come from the policy on bing - whether or not the backup was made from bing or somewhere else. > > How would this differ if rdiff-backup was used instead?

Dunno - I kind of thought rdiff-backup had better extended attribute handling than rsync itself and its my preferred tool anyway. gene/ -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
