How do you non-root using people backup your phones, without running the backup software as root?

If you never change any files outside of the ones you own (i.e. the ones owned by "root"), you don't need to back them up, right? For example, if I never touch any of the files under C:\Windows, I have no need to back up that folder (especially the files owned by SYSTEM that you can't access).
