Not sure how its counter intuitive as the application is meant to be a backup tool, which you
would later use to restore the same fie on another computer. Saving UID's other than root
makes little sense. However there is a possibility, once the tool has written the backup
list to disk, it could then proceed to set world-read/write permissions on the file (a+rw),
which would solve the issue of moving/deleting lists when not root, and avoid file managers
complaining about non-existent users etc.
