I didn't think they would want SELinux disabled on their O/S so i dig about in the startup scripts and noticed that it referenced files in the /selinux directory which seemed to be a selinuxfs filesystem type, this was not backed up and I'm guessing because it showed up as a mounted filesystem was excluded from the backup. When I restored their / directory, the /selinux directory was not recreated, recreating the /selinux directory (just by doing `mkdir /selinux`) and rebooting fixed the problem and left SELinux enabled on their server.
