I have never done this; I use rsync for '/' backups. I read 'no need' as 'you can use it as an ordinary user' and not as 'you cannot use it as root'. It should be straightforward to try. ;-) I've been using both unison and rsync for years now for synchronisation and backup, respectively. I really like unison for keeping my laptop in sync with my workstation. I don't have to worry, if both sets are changed between synchronisations and unison works fast and reliable. My 2ct.
