Generally principle of least privileges is okay, so I agree with your

On the other hand I have to ask if the server must be running under root?
Shoudn't it run under a dedicated user, e.g. 'aribackup'?
In that case filesystem permissions should be root:aribackup 770.
Hmm... I don't know why I didn't think of that as a long time BackupPC
user...
So a user could be setup but would they need to be setup as a sudo'er like
BackupPC?
Thanks,
