[BackupPC-users] Best practices for client-side unix user

Hi,

I run BackupPC on ServerA, using the rsync method to get data from ClientA. 
(pretty conventional).

If I want to perform a full backup of ClientA (all files, in all directories), 
what would be the best-pratices for getting the ssh/rsync user to read all that 
data?

- Using root ? (probably not)
- Creating a user that can read everything ? If so, how do you do that ?

FYI: ClientA is Debian.

Thanks,
Max
