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
