Yup, and the problem is: in this configuration, you *need* an admin
intervention to fix a restore, when the other solution easily leads
to: user = BPC user <=> each user can backup/restore from 1 file
to his whole $HOME (if needed) without having to ask the admin to do so.
This means informed users, but IMHO the time taken to train them is, by
far, less pain than being disturbed any time.

Of course YMMV as this depends on company policy, some don't want any
direct contact between user and data (well, it also depends on admins,
some want to control everything, others not;-p)
