Hello, Concerning SELinux: I tried running with SELinux for awhile quite a long time ago, and it turned out to be more painful than useful, so I turned it off. I had turned it on to learn it and to write Bacula policies, but never got that far.
That said: since Bacula is part of the RedHat release, it is very likely that they already have policies for Bacula that might work for you. If not, I know that they have policies (or had policies) for Amanda, and that might also be a good starting point as the needs of the programs are similar. If someone does have SELinux policies for Bacula, I would appreciate if you would contribute them to the community.
