Server Wide backup as Root

clops

Basic Pleskian
I am tired of fixing the error messages during server wide backups which sound like "For security reason backup is performed on behalf of subscription system user.", I have quite a few web applications which generate temp files and stuff, which literally break the server-wide backup procedure :( Is there any way to make a server-wide backup as Root?
