I might have missed this, but why do we need root access? The database and all the config files in /etc/sipxpbx should be owned by the sipXconfig process.
In my view, there are two reasons to integrate "restore" into sipXconfig:
a) Ease of use: Make it unnecessary for an admin to use a console
b) Being able to create a closed system, where the admin is not given root access but can still do restore
While objective one is currently our main one, requiring a root password for "restore" defeats objective two.
