Hi,
This is the patch I'm currently testing:

It is suboptimal - it will disable the backups on SELinux - but it will
work at least... I'm fairly confident that this doesn't have bad effects
on non-selinux-systems or systems that do have the selinux packages
installed but are currently not in selinux mode...
After all, it's a very simple patch, and it makes the daily errors go
away.

best regards,
Erich Schubert
