Backup Operator (and Administrator) are groups you can add to the user
to give additional permissions. If you are in an Active Directory
environment you would need to join the domain and have domain
credentials, though. I'd recommend setting up rsync anyway because
it does a better job of tracking renames, changed files with old
timestamps, and deletions.
