Ah, ok I can change this myself in the backup .conf file

        # user/group the backup is eventually owned by
        BACKUP_OWNER="$USER.$USER"

@ Karsten – if a change in the above default script to use a colon

                BACKUP_OWNER="$USER:$USER"

might break something, could you insert a Mac-related comment thus

        # user/group the backup is eventually owned by
        # note Mac OS may require $USER:$USER not $USER.$USER
        # refer to Mac OS man page for chown
        BACKUP_OWNER="$USER.$USER"
