I thought I would give some feedback here... I am running BackupPC 3.1.0-5 built from Fedora SRPMs (should be the same as EPEL) in a CentOS 5.3 machine, with SELinux enabled, in "enforced" mode, with "targeted" policy. I have the BackupPC volume mounted in /var/lib/BackupPC (default path), I mounted it *before* installing the RPM. I have had *no* issues with SELinux so far, and I'm running it for a couple of weeks now. The RPM includes a file named /usr/share/selinux/packages/BackupPC/BackupPC.pp, which I believe will implement the SELinux policies need for BackupPC operation. I believe it will do so considering the labels that are applied by default in /var/lib/BackupPC, and if you decide to mount your repository elsewhere (like /BackupData) it will only give you trouble... Especially if using SELinux, I would advise you to try to keep your backups under /var/lib/BackupPC, and also to mount the backup drive at that path before installing the RPM.
