Hello; I'm the upstream maintainer of deja-dup. I have historically focused on the single-user, backup-my-personal data use case. Though, I would like to server the backup-my-box use case as well; it just hasn't been a priority. That might mean particularly clever actions like storing a list of installed packages, or at least asking for sudo privileges to be able to read files. (There's a bug about that -- asking for sudo [1].) Asking for sudo would cover the deja-dup-monitor case, as mentioned.
But I think I'd like to support that in a more integrated fashion than an extra menu item. Maybe just ask for sudo when non-HOME directories are included. I encourage you to comment on the ask-for-sudo bug [1] if you have ideas.
