I have PGBackWeb Setup to Save Backups Locally.
It saves them as Root.
I have Syncthing Running as User, which syncs those backups to another backup PC.
Syncthing cannot access those files as they are under the user Root.
Wondering if there is a way to get PGBackWeb to save those backups to Local drive as User instead of Root.

I have chowned the Pgbackweb backups folder multiple times to the non-root user but the new backups are still created under root user.
