Hmm?  Well, if Arcserve isn't installed chmod root, yeah, to run a backup
*directly* as the user, you'd need root privs to read/write all files.  But
for Ghu's sake, they don't need root for everything!  Look at the Arcserve
installation instructions.  IF it can't handle chmod root, at the LEAST
the user should only be running it through sudo.
