Backup files with ordinary user.



Hi All

I want to backup my servers files using tar from a central Location.
To do this im using ssh with RSAauth to log from my backup server to all the
other servers.

I log using ordinary user to be on the safer side but then I can't read some
directories ( for instance: /var/spool/croon - rwx______ )
I thought of few options:

1. adding the ordinary user to root Group
2. add access to some directive like chgrp or chmod
3. tar as root - I don't like this option

What is the list suggestions ?
