I use rsync for most of my backups. For a restore I can rsync the files back and touch /.autorelabel to restore the SE Linux labels.
Do you mind if I ask you what your backup regime is? I often ask people when the topic comes up because it's such an important thing. I'm always interested in potentially improving my knowledge and practice.
Firstly I use BTRFS or ZFS for everything that matters. The first stage of backup is filesystem snapshots, that covers the most common restore case of "oops I deleted the wrong file". Next I rsync files to a disk with a BTRFS filesystem and use BTRFS snapshots on that for multiple backups (going back months or years as most files don't change much). Some of those disks with backups are stored offsite. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
