Hey all, I'd like to make a "live" backup of a file system on a regular basis, and maintain permissions, but have such a thing be only writable by root at any given time. (i.e. I keep a backup drive unmounted, and mount it read-only when users need their data). The thing is, I have to mount it read-write in order to create the archive. Is there any way to make a file system read-only for normal users but read-write by root?

This is a local filesystem.
