I disagree. An unprivileged user might wish to back up his/her own home
directory or some portion of it using rsnapshot. One might run even a
system backup as non-root to improve security; the --fake-super option
recently added to the development rsync could be used to represent the
source UIDs and GIDs in the destination.
