So, can we have a backup admin using ACLs?
Yes you can have anything. There are no limits to the system.
I'll expand. Will user and group permissions be kept on the backup copy made by a plain user? Or will they be changed to be owned by the user doing the backup?
I believe they are changed, so the answer to my question is "not quite".
Untested, but logically the backup should maintain the correct data assuming the backup tool understands ACLs. 15 years ago when I was experimenting with ACLs, "star" was a modified version of tar that groked ACLs in the backup set. The issue is the restore. I suspect only root can do a restore and get everything set correctly.
