Has anyone suggested using setuid?
Why don't you write a program to do the backup. Set ownership root, group to backup, chmod 770 and then setuid on the program
and you can remote login as the backup group and execute the program with root privileges to do just the things you put in the

* The address is Google Australia, Level 5, 48 Pirrama Road, Pyrmont.
It is across the road from Star City Casino.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
