+### Run backups as root
+**Difficulty**: Medium<br />
+**Length**: 90 hours<br />
+**Skills required**: Python, Unix<br />
+**Description**: Vorta was first built for user backups. Some users also want to run it as root and backup the whole system. There are minor blocking issues to achieve this. (TODO what issues?) This task would resolve those and write documentation for it. This is a large task that needs additional Linux knowledge.<br />
+**Task outline**:
+Research ways of running vorta as root on Linux and MacOS as well as possible ways to only run borg subcommands as root (polkit, sudo, root install, ...).
+Weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of the options and decide on a way to implement.
+Implement support for root backups.<br />
+**Additional details**: See issues [#801](https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/discussions/801) and [#1482](https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/issues/1482)<br />
