Many users need to backup system files that require privileged access, so
|

|
these instructions install and run borgmatic as root. If you don't need to

backup such files, then you are welcome to install and run borgmatic as a

non-root user.

### root versus non-root
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These instructions install and run borgmatic as root, because many users want
|
|
||||||
to backup system files that require privileged access. Therefore borgmatic
|
|
||||||
needs to run as root to read them. But if you don't need to backup such files,
|
|
||||||
then you are welcome to install and run borgmatic as a non-root user.
