Backup: handle the case when Dom0 user's home has root-owned files

[marmarek]

It is very likely that at least .bash_history is ownen by root in Dom0 user's home, because of frequent use of sudo bash...

Probably the best way to handle this is to run copying as sudo root.

Perhaps better idea is to chown all files in user home to this user? I've just checked a few machines and all non-user (mostly root) owned files was by mistake (or erroneously left from sudo sth).
This will prevent similar problem on restore.
