Hi!

Assuming you are doing rsync over ssh, you will simply need to change 
your setting according to this documentation:

http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html#how_can_client_access_as_root_be_avoided

The issue at hand is: you will need root access to the files, but 
obviously you are using another user for the backup, which is a very 
good idea. Sudo does the trick.

Hope this helps,
