Hello, you should do some debugging on the SELinux side, this is not related to Bacula. It is too complicated to explain by mail, Redhat docs are very good in this regard.

First of all, you can try to relabel your filesystem in case you have some mislabeled file; as root do "fixfiles onboot" and reboot the system. Second, you can delete all files in "/var/log/audit/" and make the problem reappear, so you can debug the SELinux permission problems with "audit2allow -a" or by looking directly at a clean "/var/log/audit/audit.log" file. Then, it's worth saying that "/backup" is not a path that is part of SELinux labels. It is not a problem by itself (it should work anyway) but my suggestion is to use "/bacula/" as the path for your backups. # semanage fcontext -l | grep bacula /bacula(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:bacula_store_t:s0 /etc/bacula.* all files system_u:object_r:bacula_etc_t:s0 /etc/rc\.d/init\.d/bacula.* regular file system_u:object_r:bacula_initrc_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/bacula.* regular file system_u:object_r:bacula_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/bat regular file system_u:object_r:bacula_admin_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/bconsole regular file system_u:object_r:bacula_admin_exec_t:s0 /var/lib/bacula.* all files system_u:object_r:bacula_var_lib_t:s0 /var/log/bacula.* all files system_u:object_r:bacula_log_t:s0 /var/run/bacula.* regular file system_u:object_r:bacula_var_run_t:s0 /var/spool/bacula.* all files system_u:object_r:bacula_spool_t:s0 /var/spool/bacula/log(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 Regards, --Simone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
