This is, of course, the first thing that spings to mind, but it is not
always easy to do so and besides, you cannot take read rights to some
system files like /etc/passwd and similar.
Another thing what comes to mind and is much better is to chroot FD to the
right directory, but problem arises when you do have more directories
across the filesystem to backup. Then you can use mount --bind in linux,
but it's getting a bit messy...
