Additional context in #496 (comment)

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html

Today users must either run backrest as root, or ensure that backrest is in the right groups to access all paths that will be backed up. To simplify this, it might be a good idea for the linux provider to prompt the user to specify additional capabilities in the systemd unit (and preserve these properties on upgrade if set).
