Best practices while running a backup script as root.

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Hi, 

I have one PHP Script using the AWS S3 SDK that I have configured to
backup each site on a vps.  I need to run it as root because of
permission issues.  What is the best practice in this type of situation?


The server is running Ubuntu 16.04 and Plesk 17.5. 

Should I place all the backup files in the /root directory or create
another directly such as /backups owned by root?  I think I may have
answered my own question with /backups owned by root. 

Thank you for your guidance!! 

Keith
