permissions and user data backups

- Subject: permissions and user data backups
- Bcc:
I'm trying to set up automated rsync backups, but I'm running into some
problems. When I manually run my rsync script as Administrator, opening
some user folders gives "permission denied." Is there a way to create a
"root/SYSTEM" like user? or alternatively, how would I go about acheiving
the desired effect? Would I have to install cron as SYSTEM instead of a
user with administrative privileges? If possible, I would like to find a
solution that doesn't involve fiddling with ACL's or the permissions of the
files in question. Many thanks in advance for your help.
