As a side note backups vs permissions has always been a very icky issue
anyway: what do you expect to happen when a non-root user tries to
restore files they have no read permission to? Or look at other peoples
filenames in the catalog? Personally I don't think there is a general
solution other than not letting non-root users touch any of it.
